Hello, hi.

00:00:02.030 --> 00:00:04.140 align:middle line:90%
Welcome, everybody.

00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:05.450 align:middle line:90%
There are so many of you here.

00:00:05.450 --> 00:00:06.760 align:middle line:90%
I'm so happy to see you all.

00:00:06.760 --> 00:00:08.700 align:middle line:84%
I'm Hannah Ensor, I
coordinate the reading

00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:14.100 align:middle line:84%
and lecture series here that
you are currently attending.

00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:16.800 align:middle line:84%
Tonight's reading is
part of our annual series

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.010 align:middle line:84%
which remember poet and
publisher Morgan Lucas Schuldt,

00:00:20.010 --> 00:00:23.400 align:middle line:90%
who lived from 1978 to 2012.

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:26.640 align:middle line:84%
Philip Metres described
Morgan's poetics as being,

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:31.260 align:middle line:84%
quote, "one of lyrical fracture,
brokenness as neologism,

00:00:31.260 --> 00:00:32.910 align:middle line:90%
archaicism as innovation."

00:00:32.910 --> 00:00:34.110 align:middle line:90%
End quote.

00:00:34.110 --> 00:00:37.770 align:middle line:84%
And so every year, thanks to the
generosity of a private donor,

00:00:37.770 --> 00:00:40.650 align:middle line:84%
we present emerging and
innovative poets in his honor.

00:00:40.650 --> 00:00:43.140 align:middle line:84%
We give ourselves this chance
to remember how important he

00:00:43.140 --> 00:00:46.120 align:middle line:90%
was to poetry and to Tucson.

00:00:46.120 --> 00:00:49.140 align:middle line:84%
So without further ado, I'd like
to welcome up our introducers

00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:51.810 align:middle line:84%
for tonight, both
poets and friends.

00:00:51.810 --> 00:00:54.510 align:middle line:84%
TC Tolbert will be introducing
Danniel Schoonebeek.

00:00:54.510 --> 00:00:57.480 align:middle line:84%
And Farid Matuk will be
introducing Solmaz Sharif.

00:00:57.480 --> 00:01:00.570 align:middle line:84%
So thank you to TC and
to Farid, and thank you

00:01:00.570 --> 00:01:02.130 align:middle line:90%
to Danniel and to Solmaz.

00:01:02.130 --> 00:01:04.540 align:middle line:84%
We're really excited that
you're here in Tucson.

00:01:04.540 --> 00:01:06.430 align:middle line:90%
So, TC.

00:01:06.430 --> 00:01:08.000 align:middle line:90%
