Thank you for coming tonight.
I'm Jennifer Adams, higher education program specialist
here at Phoenix Art Museum and part of the education team.
Phoenix Art Museum is delighted to partner
with the University of Arizona Poetry Center
to bring poets to Phoenix for these exciting readings.
With tonight's readings, we're halfway
through our 2017-2018 season, marking
the fourth year of collaborating with the Poetry Center.
Among our many partners who make these readings happen
at the museum, we want to thank the Angela and Leonard Singer
Endowment For Performing Arts for their ongoing support
of the collaboration, and Tyler Meier
and Hannah Ensor of the Poetry Center, who work tirelessly
to bring us phenomenal poets.
Woo-Hoo!
[APPLAUSE]
After tonight's reading, be sure to visit Past/Future/Present:
Contemporary Art from the Museum of Modern Art, Sao Paulo,
and mark your calendars for two highly-anticipated exhibitions
in 2018, Iris van Herpen: Transforming Fashion
and Valeska Soares: Any Moment Now.
Thank you for joining us this evening.
I'm going to pass this over to Tyler.
