Hello.
Thank you so much for having me here.
Thank you all for joining us tonight.
Thanks to Hannah, Laura, and the commemorative moment
that this is.
Thank you to Tyler, and Becka, and Sarah for the introduction,
and many others whose labor may not be visible to me, but also
are part of this moment being what it is.
It's so beautiful to be invited as a translator
because it's a big part of what I do
and it's an important part of what I do.
And I-- in thinking about the fact
that I was being invited as a translator,
I spent some time on the airplane thinking
about translation.
And what I did was--
I'm going to give a reading and the reading
is a translation of--
So Sarah mentioned this book "Mouth: Eats Color."
And it's-- There are a lot of weird things going on in this
book.
And I decided to translate the form of this book
into the performance of tonight.
So here we go.
