--instead of trying to come to four separate readings,
and we hope that you'll agree with us when
we're all finished.
The last reading for this semester
will be one week from tonight.
The reader is Philip Levine.
It will be at our regular time and place, 8:30 in the Modern
Languages auditorium.
Mr. Levine will also read at Pima College on Tuesday
night if there's anyone who has difficulty
about coming on Thursday.
We have four readers tonight, four readers tomorrow night.
Tomorrow night's readers will be Stephen Dunn
and Dave Smith, George Keithley and William Matthews
here at 7 o'clock.
I think most of you know the occasion
for all these gentlemen meeting together.
They have been playing in a tennis
tournament at Wickenburg.
And the winner was Stephen Dunn, by the way.
I will not say who the loser was.
Marvin Bell is our first reader tonight.
He's read for us before.
Those of you who have heard him know you have a great treat.
His books are Stars Which See, Stars Which Do Not See,
Residue of Song, The Escape into You,
A Probable Volume of Dreams, which
was the winner of the 1969 Lamont award.
He has three small edition books which are no longer in print.
His work may be found in all the leading poetry periodicals,
many anthologies including American Poetry
Anthology, Contemporary American Poets, and many others.
He teaches at the Writers' Workshop at the University
of Iowa, Marvin Bell.
