00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:02.820 align:middle line:84%
Well, first of all,
I want to thank

00:00:02.820 --> 00:00:05.200 align:middle line:90%
Barbara for that introduction.

00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:07.590 align:middle line:90%
It was beautiful.

00:00:07.590 --> 00:00:09.660 align:middle line:84%
And I would also like to
thank the Poetry Center

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:11.880 align:middle line:84%
for sponsoring the
reading and, of course,

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:14.640 align:middle line:84%
the College of Humanities
and the English department.

00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.940 align:middle line:84%
I especially went to
thank Frances Sjoberg

00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:21.000 align:middle line:84%
for her support, and one of
the best things about teaching

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.460 align:middle line:84%
is that you meet people, like
Frances, in your classes.

00:00:23.460 --> 00:00:25.560 align:middle line:84%
And they go on to
become friends.

00:00:25.560 --> 00:00:27.005 align:middle line:84%
I'd also like to
say that I'm very

00:00:27.005 --> 00:00:28.380 align:middle line:84%
happy to be reading
with Aurelie,

00:00:28.380 --> 00:00:31.230 align:middle line:84%
because I admire
her work so much.

00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:34.080 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to read about
the first half of a story,

00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:38.500 align:middle line:84%
and then I'm going to skip to
the very last few paragraphs.

00:00:38.500 --> 00:00:39.000 align:middle line:90%
