00:00:00.990 --> 00:00:03.360 align:middle line:84%
Everyone, welcome to
the Poetry Center.

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:04.470 align:middle line:90%
I'm Diana Delgado.

00:00:04.470 --> 00:00:06.990 align:middle line:84%
I'm the literary director
here, and I'm really

00:00:06.990 --> 00:00:12.180 align:middle line:84%
excited to welcome Daniel
Borzutzky here to read tonight.

00:00:12.180 --> 00:00:13.770 align:middle line:90%
I have a few housekeeping notes.

00:00:13.770 --> 00:00:14.880 align:middle line:90%
Actually, I have a lot.

00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:17.610 align:middle line:84%
So I have a list of
things here, that I was

00:00:17.610 --> 00:00:19.500 align:middle line:90%
like I have to print this out.

00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:22.680 align:middle line:84%
So anyway, the first
thing is I just

00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:26.473 align:middle line:84%
want to again welcome Daniel
here to the Poetry Center.

00:00:26.473 --> 00:00:28.140 align:middle line:84%
And one of the other
things I want to do

00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:31.020 align:middle line:84%
is just sort of
mention that this

00:00:31.020 --> 00:00:33.030 align:middle line:84%
is a Hannelore
Quander-Rattee reading,

00:00:33.030 --> 00:00:36.300 align:middle line:84%
and that we're really
excited about the continued

00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:38.700 align:middle line:84%
the continued opportunity
to offer these readings

00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:41.640 align:middle line:90%
in the spirit of Hannelore.

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.460 align:middle line:84%
We're also grateful
for the support

00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:46.950 align:middle line:84%
of for all of the named
readings that we do here

00:00:46.950 --> 00:00:48.900 align:middle line:90%
at the Poetry Center.

00:00:48.900 --> 00:00:50.790 align:middle line:84%
The other thing I
wanted to mention

00:00:50.790 --> 00:00:55.590 align:middle line:84%
was that we have two transplants
that are here in Tucson now,

00:00:55.590 --> 00:00:59.310 align:middle line:84%
and that is Lissie
Jacquette and Kelsi

00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:02.820 align:middle line:90%
Vanada, who are part of ALTA.

00:01:02.820 --> 00:01:06.150 align:middle line:84%
And ALTA is the largest
membership-based translation

00:01:06.150 --> 00:01:09.420 align:middle line:84%
org in the country that is
now housed at the U of A.

00:01:09.420 --> 00:01:10.320 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:13.360 align:middle line:90%
Yes, that's a big deal.

00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:15.150 align:middle line:90%
That's a big deal.

00:01:15.150 --> 00:01:17.940 align:middle line:84%
And they're in affiliation
with the Poetry Center.

00:01:17.940 --> 00:01:20.580 align:middle line:84%
So we're really excited about
the upcoming opportunities,

00:01:20.580 --> 00:01:23.070 align:middle line:84%
about the conference being
here, and a whole bunch

00:01:23.070 --> 00:01:23.770 align:middle line:90%
of other things.

00:01:23.770 --> 00:01:24.390 align:middle line:90%
So welcome.

00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:27.834 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:01:27.834 --> 00:01:29.810 align:middle line:90%


00:01:29.810 --> 00:01:32.270 align:middle line:90%
Our spring calendar is out.

00:01:32.270 --> 00:01:33.470 align:middle line:90%
It's right over here.

00:01:33.470 --> 00:01:36.770 align:middle line:84%
Where at the end of the reading,
if you wanted to pick up books.

00:01:36.770 --> 00:01:37.880 align:middle line:90%
There's the calendar.

00:01:37.880 --> 00:01:40.310 align:middle line:84%
I want to quickly remind you
about two upcoming readings

00:01:40.310 --> 00:01:41.270 align:middle line:90%
that are coming up.

00:01:41.270 --> 00:01:43.580 align:middle line:84%
And this is Nicole Walker,
who is part of the Prose

00:01:43.580 --> 00:01:46.580 align:middle line:90%
Series on January 24.

00:01:46.580 --> 00:01:48.800 align:middle line:84%
And then we have
Kiki Petrosino, who

00:01:48.800 --> 00:01:51.980 align:middle line:84%
is going to be coming as part of
the reading and lecture series

00:01:51.980 --> 00:01:54.290 align:middle line:90%
January 31.

00:01:54.290 --> 00:01:57.710 align:middle line:84%
And briefly, the other
thing that I want to mention

00:01:57.710 --> 00:02:01.730 align:middle line:90%
is that we have--

00:02:01.730 --> 00:02:03.290 align:middle line:90%
that's it.

00:02:03.290 --> 00:02:05.130 align:middle line:90%
That's actually it.

00:02:05.130 --> 00:02:06.362 align:middle line:90%
Too many things.

00:02:06.362 --> 00:02:07.820 align:middle line:84%
So the last thing
that I want to do

00:02:07.820 --> 00:02:09.380 align:middle line:90%
is I want to welcome Gabe Dozal.

00:02:09.380 --> 00:02:12.380 align:middle line:84%
He's a poetry MFA student
here at the U of A

00:02:12.380 --> 00:02:16.400 align:middle line:84%
and he's going to be telling
us more about Daniel Borzutzky.

00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:17.360 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.410 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:02:20.410 --> 00:02:21.000 align:middle line:90%
