Thank you all for

I'm Ander Monson, and I direct
the creative writing program,

00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:09.210 align:middle line:84%
and I'm also coordinating
the Prose Series this year.

00:00:09.210 --> 00:00:11.790 align:middle line:84%
And thanks for the Poetry
Center to having us

00:00:11.790 --> 00:00:15.720 align:middle line:84%
as part of what is, possibly,
the best year of readings

00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:18.390 align:middle line:84%
I've ever seen at
the Poetry Center.

00:00:18.390 --> 00:00:21.130 align:middle line:84%
Looking at the schedule,
that's the way it looks to me.

00:00:21.130 --> 00:00:24.990 align:middle line:84%
So thank you so much for
making space for us tonight.

00:00:24.990 --> 00:00:27.160 align:middle line:90%
So tonight we have two readers.

00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.020 align:middle line:84%
We're going to read in order,
and have Karen Brennan and then

Julie Iromuanya.

00:00:33.090 --> 00:00:35.620 align:middle line:84%
And I want to say, yeah,
thanks a lot for coming out.

00:00:35.620 --> 00:00:37.410 align:middle line:90%
We're really excited.

00:00:37.410 --> 00:00:41.580 align:middle line:84%
Karen's an alum of the UA, and
a writer that I admire greatly.

00:00:41.580 --> 00:00:45.400 align:middle line:84%
And of course Julie is one
of our faculty members.

00:00:45.400 --> 00:00:50.130 align:middle line:84%
