So great to have such a great

Series reading, a collaboration

00:00:10.767 --> 00:00:13.350 align:middle line:84%
and the creative writing program

There are lots of things to
applaud for, and one of them--

00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:26.690 align:middle line:84%
or two of them are
these broadsides.

00:00:26.690 --> 00:00:28.880 align:middle line:84%
Many of you have these
already, some of you

00:00:28.880 --> 00:00:31.423 align:middle line:84%
maybe didn't get them
yet, and these are free.

00:00:31.423 --> 00:00:33.590 align:middle line:84%
There's a broadside for
each of our readers tonight,

00:00:33.590 --> 00:00:35.630 align:middle line:84%
and there's quotes
from their books.

00:00:35.630 --> 00:00:37.970 align:middle line:84%
They're designed by the New
Michigan Press and Ander

Monson, who I'll welcome
up here in a minute,

00:00:39.925 --> 00:00:41.300 align:middle line:84%
and they're gifts
for all of you.

00:00:41.300 --> 00:00:44.100 align:middle line:84%
