Thanks, everyone, for being here.
This is a great crowd.
We're so happy to have so many people here at the Poetry
Center.
Thanks for coming out on Thursday night in December.
Slightly chillier maybe than what we hoped.
But glad you're here warming this place up.
Glad Joy Harjo is here warming this place up.
I'm going to welcome you to the final reading in this year
of our Climate Change and Poetry Reading Series that
will feature Joy Harjo.
We've had a great run so far.
We're so pleased with the conversations and the poets who
have come to date.
We have three more readings that will happen in the new year,
but this is the final one of this year.
And I want to thank quickly the sponsors who
have helped make this possible.
And that includes the Agnese Nelms Haury Program
in Environment and Social Justice,
the College of Science, the Institute of the Environment,
the Confluence Center here at the University of Arizona,
the Africana Studies Program, and also the National Endowment
for the Arts.
Thanks to all of those supporters for their support.
