00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:05.070 align:middle line:90%
Thank you, Brian.

00:00:05.070 --> 00:00:07.660 align:middle line:90%
Thank you so much.

00:00:07.660 --> 00:00:14.350 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to just be attached to
my introduction on this phone.

00:00:14.350 --> 00:00:14.850 align:middle line:90%
Sound.

00:00:14.850 --> 00:00:19.680 align:middle line:90%


00:00:19.680 --> 00:00:20.770 align:middle line:90%
Already, you're here?

00:00:20.770 --> 00:00:22.170 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:22.170 --> 00:00:23.830 align:middle line:90%
I'm really happy to be here.

00:00:23.830 --> 00:00:25.500 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:00:25.500 --> 00:00:29.100 align:middle line:90%
Thank you to the Poetry Center.

00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:31.980 align:middle line:84%
Thank you for all the work
you do on this reading series,

00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:34.710 align:middle line:90%
and everything else that you do.

00:00:34.710 --> 00:00:37.695 align:middle line:84%
I'm really looking
forward to your books.

00:00:37.695 --> 00:00:39.945 align:middle line:84%
I'm really looking forward
to seeing you up here next.

00:00:39.945 --> 00:00:42.860 align:middle line:90%


00:00:42.860 --> 00:00:47.070 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to be reading from
this book The Good Dark.

00:00:47.070 --> 00:00:50.400 align:middle line:84%
This book is a chronicle of
a character investigating

00:00:50.400 --> 00:00:51.675 align:middle line:90%
the true nature of the self.

00:00:51.675 --> 00:00:54.180 align:middle line:90%


00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:56.460 align:middle line:90%
It's in three parts.

00:00:56.460 --> 00:01:00.270 align:middle line:84%
"Unwitting," where the
character must face

00:01:00.270 --> 00:01:03.600 align:middle line:90%
the depletion of the intellect.

00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:10.200 align:middle line:84%
"Course," where the character
is split into many by the many

00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:14.270 align:middle line:90%
voices she's questioning.

00:01:14.270 --> 00:01:19.990 align:middle line:84%
And "Body," where she might
find some new way of becoming.

00:01:19.990 --> 00:01:22.870 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to read a few poems
from each section of this book,

00:01:22.870 --> 00:01:27.580 align:middle line:84%
and then if I have time, a few
poems from another manuscript

00:01:27.580 --> 00:01:29.140 align:middle line:90%
called "Let X Be Rogue."

00:01:29.140 --> 00:01:39.060 align:middle line:90%


00:01:39.060 --> 00:01:42.180 align:middle line:84%
Starting from "Unwitting,"
this is "Unweathered"--

00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:43.299 align:middle line:90%
or "Weathered."

00:01:43.299 --> 00:01:47.430 align:middle line:90%


00:01:47.430 --> 00:01:52.830 align:middle line:90%
"The world unwound, shut down.

00:01:52.830 --> 00:01:58.650 align:middle line:84%
Thunder and a newly
reckoned darkness.

00:01:58.650 --> 00:02:03.480 align:middle line:84%
Darkness makes the
birds sound otherwise.

00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:08.130 align:middle line:90%
The place inside, fleshed out.

00:02:08.130 --> 00:02:10.139 align:middle line:90%
Dark.

00:02:10.139 --> 00:02:14.400 align:middle line:84%
Wound up in sky
crossed by lightning.

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.755 align:middle line:84%
Holding the reins
of the visible.

00:02:16.755 --> 00:02:19.630 align:middle line:90%


00:02:19.630 --> 00:02:28.360 align:middle line:84%
Then visible, smells, and
calls, and other calls.

00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:31.230 align:middle line:90%
Shape gathering clouds."

00:02:31.230 --> 00:02:33.000 align:middle line:90%
