I hope you can come over to the terrace lounge
to meet Norman Dubie and Pamela Stewart following
tonight's reading.
You know there's kind of a mess over there
if you go in through the upper level.
It's probably best to go through the main level and then up.
Pamela Stewart and Norman Dubie are both
represented in Five Arizona Poets,
which is Grilled Flowers special issue number one.
And they are both represented in Blue Moon news.
And those fine magazines will be on sale at the reception
tonight.
Both of those magazines need your financial support
as well as your praise.
Our next reading is two weeks from tonight
in this auditorium.
William Kloefkorn will be our visiting poet.
Four weeks from tonight, we have a special treat, Steve Orlen,
of our creative writing faculty will read for us
in this auditorium.
I'm very happy to introduce our double header tonight, Norman
Dubie and Pamela Stewart.
Pamela's real name is Jody.
I don't know if she answers to Pamela or not.
Jody will read first.
Her first full length book of poems
is The St. Vlas Elegies, which will come out in April.
She has a book planned very shortly for the Maguey
Press, which is a Tucson press.
She's published two limited editions--
one called The Hawley Road Marsh Marigolds.
The title, I love.
Her work appears in such periodicals
as Poetry, New Yorker, American Poetry Review and Field.
She happens to be married to Mr. Norman Dubie, who
will read following her.
His work also appears in such periodicals.
He's been publishing with the University of Pittsburgh Press,
most recently, "In the Dead of the Night," and with Braziller
Press his most recent book, "The Illustrations."
Both Mr. Dubie and Mrs. Stewart teach
at Arizona State University.
And I know that you're going to enjoy
hearing them read tonight.
Jody will read first and then Norman.
