I just had a lovely dinner with Sam and with Polly and Dexter,
and you're in for a treat.
They're amazing people.
I wanted to thank you guys for choosing poetry tonight when
there are so many other things you can do in the world.
And I also want to point this out.
This is the Fall Events Guide.
Relatively hot off the press, warm off the press.
And it includes all the things that are happening
at the Center this fall.
They are for you, and they're over on the table as you exit,
so make sure you grab one if you're
interested in the other things that are happening here
this season.
I will not take any more time.
I just wanted to say hello.
I'm excited to meet many of you, and I
will pass off to Cybele for the rest of what happens.
