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 --> 00:00:04.867 align:middle line:84%
I'm the reading and lecture
series coordinator here.

00:00:04.867 --> 00:00:07.590 align:middle line:84%
I'm really happy to
see you all out here.

00:00:07.590 --> 00:00:10.170 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to rush to
introduce Ander Monson up

00:00:10.170 --> 00:00:13.380 align:middle line:84%
to introduce the Prose
Series, and the introducers,

00:00:13.380 --> 00:00:14.542 align:middle line:90%
and the readers.

00:00:14.542 --> 00:00:16.500 align:middle line:84%
But first I just want to
make sure one thing is

00:00:16.500 --> 00:00:17.190 align:middle line:90%
on your radar.

00:00:17.190 --> 00:00:19.590 align:middle line:84%
If you don't already
have this penciled in

00:00:19.590 --> 00:00:21.840 align:middle line:84%
and circled onto your
calendar, at this time,

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:26.160 align:middle line:84%
next week, next Thursday at
7:00 PM here in this room--

00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.410 align:middle line:84%
next Thursday is
the 20th, right?

00:00:28.410 --> 00:00:31.440 align:middle line:84%
April 20th, Thursday,
7PM, the one,

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.220 align:middle line:84%
the only Mary Ruefle will be
here reading things to us,

00:00:35.220 --> 00:00:36.900 align:middle line:90%
poems, prose things.

00:00:36.900 --> 00:00:39.640 align:middle line:84%
Whatever she decides to read,
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 --> 00:00:45.010 align:middle line:90%
I think that's really it.

00:00:45.010 --> 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 --> 00:00:52.740 align:middle line:84%
I was trying to figure
out in advance all

00:00:52.740 --> 00:00:54.520 align:middle line:84%
of the many things 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 --> 00:00:58.650 align:middle line:84%
But Ander's really
great and he's

00:00:58.650 --> 00:01:00.400 align:middle line:84%
going to come up and
tell you a little bit

00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:02.240 align:middle line:90%
about the introducers.
