--Mr Snodgrass's reading for punch and cookies.
We usually have our receptions at the Student Union,
but we would like to introduce you to the Poetry Center
if you have not been there.
And if you have been there, you know where it is--
to the corner of Speedway and Highland,
it's on the Southeast corner directly across the street
from the computer building.
I miss that.
I'm asked to remind you that smoking is not
allowed in this auditorium.
Our next reader will appear one week
from Tuesday night, September 25th,
Richard Howard will read in the Liberal Arts Auditorium.
I'm very happy to introduce Mr Snodgrass to you this evening.
He has published two volumes of his poetry--
Heart's Needle which was the winner of the 1960 Pulitzer
Prize.
And after experience, he's also published
a book of translations of Christian Morgenstern called
Gallows Songs.
He's currently a professor at Syracuse University.
He's a very fine reader and a person
I'm sure you will want to meet, Mr W.E. Snodgrass
[APPLAUSE]
Thank you, thank you Lois.
