that are coming up
at the Poetry Center.

00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:24.268 align:middle line:84%
Take care of a little
bit of housekeeping

00:00:24.268 --> 00:00:26.280 align:middle line:84%
and then we'll move on
to this reading, which

00:00:26.280 --> 00:00:29.250 align:middle line:84%
is the last reading in a
really incredible series

00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:32.880 align:middle line:84%
that we've been so excited to
be hosting here at the Poetry

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.130 align:middle line:84%
Center about climate
change and its relationship

00:00:35.130 --> 00:00:37.560 align:middle line:84%
to language and the language
we use to talk about it.

00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:39.480 align:middle line:90%
What poets think about that.

00:00:39.480 --> 00:00:43.080 align:middle line:84%
And we've been so grateful for
this collection of responses

00:00:43.080 --> 00:00:45.630 align:middle line:84%
that's been as various
as the problems are,

00:00:45.630 --> 00:00:47.340 align:middle line:90%
as the challenges are.

00:00:47.340 --> 00:00:49.020 align:middle line:84%
And so excited to
hear from Alison

tonight as the exclamation
point at the end of it all.

00:00:52.650 --> 00:00:54.900 align:middle line:84%
To help us finalize
some of this thinking,

00:00:54.900 --> 00:00:57.570 align:middle line:84%
or help us send us
forward into the questions

00:00:57.570 --> 00:00:59.498 align:middle line:90%
that we'll pursue in the future.

00:00:59.498 --> 00:01:00.540 align:middle line:90%
