Welcome to the Poetry Center.

00:00:01.650 --> 00:00:02.700 align:middle line:90%
My name is Hannah Ensor.

00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:04.990 align:middle line:84%
I'm the Reading and Lecture
Series Coordinator here.

00:00:04.990 --> 00:00:07.590 align:middle line:84%
Really happy to see
you all out here.

00:00:07.590 --> 00:00:11.670 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to rush to introduce
Ander Monson to introduce

00:00:11.670 --> 00:00:14.500 align:middle line:84%
the Prose Series and the
introducers and the readers.

00:00:14.500 --> 00:00:16.500 align:middle line:84%
But first, I just want
to make sure one thing is

00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:19.590 align:middle line:84%
on your radar, if you don't
already have this penciled in

00:00:19.590 --> 00:00:20.910 align:middle line:90%
and circled onto your calendar.

00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:24.030 align:middle line:84%
At this time next week,
next Thursday at 7:00

00:00:24.030 --> 00:00:26.160 align:middle line:90%
PM, here in this room--

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.410 align:middle line:90%
next Thursday's the 20th, right?

00:00:28.410 --> 00:00:32.490 align:middle line:84%
April 20, Thursday, 7:00 PM,
the one, the only, Mary Ruefle

00:00:32.490 --> 00:00:35.940 align:middle line:84%
will be here reading
things to us-- poems,

00:00:35.940 --> 00:00:38.348 align:middle line:84%
prose things, whatever
she decides to read,

00:00:38.348 --> 00:00:39.640 align:middle line:90%
she will be reading to us here.

00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.860 align:middle line:84%
So that's one to make
sure you don't miss.

00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:44.910 align:middle line:90%
I think that's really it.

00:00:44.910 --> 00:00:50.700 align:middle line:84%
So Ander is a friend of this
place, and a lot of things.

00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:53.460 align:middle line:84%
I was trying to figure out in
advance all of the many things

00:00:53.460 --> 00:00:54.520 align:middle line:90%
I could say about you.

00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.210 align:middle line:84%
But I think maybe it's
easier if I say none of them.

00:00:57.210 --> 00:00:58.350 align:middle line:90%
But Ander's really great.

00:00:58.350 --> 00:00:59.933 align:middle line:84%
And he's going to
come up and tell you

00:00:59.933 --> 00:01:02.240 align:middle line:84%
a little bit about
the introducers.
