This is a follow-up
colloquium session coming off

00:00:04.770 --> 00:00:07.420 align:middle line:84%
the marvelous energy of
last night's reading,

00:00:07.420 --> 00:00:11.850 align:middle line:84%
where we had the great
pleasure of seeing humor raised

00:00:11.850 --> 00:00:14.790 align:middle line:84%
to the level of art,
which happens very rarely,

00:00:14.790 --> 00:00:18.420 align:middle line:84%
and was a great
nourishment for all of us.

00:00:18.420 --> 00:00:21.240 align:middle line:84%
I'd like to remind you
that these sessions, which

00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:23.760 align:middle line:84%
bring together people from the
community and the university

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.040 align:middle line:84%
to get to know some
of the visiting poets,

00:00:26.040 --> 00:00:28.650 align:middle line:84%
are sponsored by the
Arizona Humanities Council.

00:00:28.650 --> 00:00:30.310 align:middle line:90%
We're very grateful to them.

00:00:30.310 --> 00:00:33.690 align:middle line:84%
And we are very happy to
invite you to fill out

00:00:33.690 --> 00:00:37.460 align:middle line:84%
a questionnaire that will let
them know how this serves you.

00:00:37.460 --> 00:00:38.460 align:middle line:90%
We'll pass it out after.

00:00:38.460 --> 00:00:40.140 align:middle line:90%
So we'll pass it out after.

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:42.840 align:middle line:84%
I do want to let you know
that Billy is on his way

00:00:42.840 --> 00:00:47.730 align:middle line:84%
to the airport, so we have to
end this promptly at 10:20.

00:00:47.730 --> 00:00:50.610 align:middle line:84%
So, and he's just
going to be scurried

00:00:50.610 --> 00:00:53.770 align:middle line:84%
rudely out of the building,
for which we apologize.

00:00:53.770 --> 00:00:54.270 align:middle line:90%
So

00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:55.230 align:middle line:90%
And I do, too.

00:00:55.230 --> 00:00:57.730 align:middle line:84%
But he won't have a chance to
sign books after this session.

00:00:57.730 --> 00:00:59.400 align:middle line:90%
So we will have to end promptly.

00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:01.500 align:middle line:84%
But other than
that, this session

00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:04.950 align:middle line:84%
is really aimed to
meet your needs.

00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:06.960 align:middle line:84%
And Billy will make
some opening remarks,

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:10.690 align:middle line:84%
and then this will be
open for your questions.

00:01:10.690 --> 00:01:13.760 align:middle line:90%
And so I'll turn it to you.
