Our next reading will be one week from tonight.
It's graduate students reading in the terrace lounge
of the Student Union at 8:30.
And the readers will be Nelson Barre, Eileen [INAUDIBLE]
Reyes, Gail Eric, and Jim Trafillio.
That's September 29.
University's undergraduate magazine, Persona,
is looking for submissions--
short fiction, poetry, graphics, photography.
The usual rules apply.
Material should be typed, double-spaced,
and should have a self-addressed stamped envelope attached.
Persona has a mailbox in the English department
you can leave material in.
And it's getting to be about that time of year
I would like to start making up the first newsletter.
So if you have any good news, would you
please pass it on to me.
Our newsletter publishes only good news.

I hope you can come over to the Poetry Center following
tonight's reading.
We have some punch and cookies and meet Peter Wild.
If you haven't been to the Poetry Center,
we're two blocks to the north at the corner of Speedway
and Highland.
And we'll be on the South Lawn beside the guest house.
It's always a pleasure to introduce a friend
and colleague.
Peter Wild is one of the most widely published poets
in the United States.
Some of his books are New and Selected Poems and Wilderness,
both from New Rivers Press; The Cloning, and Chihuahua,
and Doubleday.
His most recent book is Bitter Roots from Blue Moon Press.
And copies of Bitter Roots will be available for sale
at the reception.
In addition to being a poet, Peter
has been a journalist, backpacker
and an avid conservationist.
A contributing editor to High Country News.
He has a book out on Pioneer Conservationist on Western
America, to soon to be followed by Pioneer Conservationist
of Early America and Pioneer Conservationist of Eastern
America.
I'm very happy to introduce Peter Wild.
