We are delighted to present Jane Miller today,
who's going to explore the life and work of the great artist
Federico García Lorca--
Spanish poet, playwright, puppeteer, pianist,
and painter.
Jane is the author of seven volumes of poetry.
And we heard some of the work from a "Palace of Pearls"
last night at the reading.
It's wonderful.
"Memory at These Speeds", "August Zero", "Working Time--
Essays on Poetry, Culture, and Travel",
and "The Greater Leisures--
A National Poetry Selection."
Jane was born in New York.
Currently lives in Tucson where she's
on the faculty of the creative writing program
at the University of Arizona.
She's received numerous awards for her writing,
including a Western States Book Award, a Lila Wallace Reader's
Digest Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship,
and two fellowships from the National
Endowment for the Arts.
Will you please welcome Jane Miller.
