Thank you all for coming out tonight.
I'm Ander Monson and I direct the Creative Writing Program,
and I'm also coordinating the prose series this year.
And thanks for the Poetry Center,
to having us as part of what is possibly
the best year of readings I've ever seen at the Poetry Center.
Looking at the schedule, that's the way it looks to me.
So thank you so much for making space for us tonight.
So tonight, we have two readers who are going to read.
In order, we have Karen Brennan and then Julie Iromuanya.
And I want to say, yeah, thanks a lot for coming out.
We're really excited.
Karen's an alum of the UA and a writer that I admire greatly.
And, of course, Julie is one of our faculty members.
So first, we'll have Karen being introduced by Jessica Malordy.
And then second, we'll have Manuel Muñoz introducing Julie
Iromuanya tonight.
