Hello, everybody.
Welcome to the Poetry Center.
I'm Hannah Ensor.
I'm the event's coordinator.
I'm really excited for this reading.
We all are really excited for this reading.
It's our first UA Prose Series Reading of the semester.
Yay.
It's Willy Vlautin.
Thank you all for being here.
I'd like to invite up Kate Bernheimer.
She's our Prose Series Coordinator this semester.
She is author, publisher, and teacher extraordinaire herself.
The only thing that I'll say about her right
now is that if you were here with us last week,
you got to witness a really remarkable reading
from her new book, How a Mother Weaned
Her Girl From Fairy Tales.
It's also well worth checking out.
You missed the 20% off from last week,
but maybe Kate can cut you a deal.
[LAUGHTER]
We're lucky to have her here.
We're lucky that she invited Willy.
Help me welcome Kate.
[APPLAUSE]
