Tonight, the reading is the
Morgan Lucas Schuldt Memorial

00:00:03.030 --> 00:00:03.930 align:middle line:90%
Reading.

00:00:03.930 --> 00:00:07.890 align:middle line:84%
Morgan was an innovative poet
and a talented publisher,

00:00:07.890 --> 00:00:10.710 align:middle line:84%
and the namesake for
the reading tonight.

00:00:10.710 --> 00:00:14.190 align:middle line:84%
And we're excited about that,
and have been excited to--

00:00:14.190 --> 00:00:16.720 align:middle line:90%
program in his memory.

00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:19.470 align:middle line:84%
And so, what I want to suggest
to you is the best way to learn

00:00:19.470 --> 00:00:22.300 align:middle line:84%

work and his interests--

00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:24.930 align:middle line:84%
which are worth knowing about,
and which are beautiful--

00:00:24.930 --> 00:00:27.150 align:middle line:84%
is to come to the library
at the Poetry Center

00:00:27.150 --> 00:00:28.380 align:middle line:90%
and come check out his books.

00:00:28.380 --> 00:00:30.960 align:middle line:84%
Come ask for his books
from the library staff,

00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.600 align:middle line:84%
and come see the work that he
helped edit and helped publish.

00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:35.400 align:middle line:90%
It's really remarkable work.

00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:38.845 align:middle line:90%

00:00:38.845 --> 00:00:40.470 align:middle line:84%
I also want to give

00:01:05.940 --> 00:01:07.950 align:middle line:84%
