Well, I'm only up here for a second.
I'm just here to welcome you.
And most of you, I see, we're here last night
to witness Heather's virtuosity as a master craftsman.
And today, we're lucky enough to hear her brilliance
as a lecturer and close reader.
Her talks and classes are an art form unto themselves.
So please welcome Heather McHugh.
