Starting off with a question,
is this water for us?

00:00:02.940 --> 00:00:06.570 align:middle line:90%
[CHUCKLES] Thank you very much.

00:00:06.570 --> 00:00:10.840 align:middle line:84%
First I want to say, that was
such a beautiful introduction.

00:00:10.840 --> 00:00:14.020 align:middle line:84%
Thank you, Paola, that
was just extraordinary,

00:00:14.020 --> 00:00:17.220 align:middle line:90%
and so heartfelt. So thank you.

00:00:17.220 --> 00:00:21.930 align:middle line:84%
Thank you Diana, and everyone at
the Poetry Center for having us

00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:23.320 align:middle line:90%
here.

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:26.910 align:middle line:84%
I'm so excited to be here,
all the way from Brooklyn.

00:00:26.910 --> 00:00:31.410 align:middle line:84%
And thank you, Aria, for
being co-readers tonight.

00:00:31.410 --> 00:00:34.350 align:middle line:84%
I am so excited to be here
with you and read with you.

00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:35.120 align:middle line:90%
Just a sip.

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:48.630 align:middle line:90%


00:00:48.630 --> 00:00:51.070 align:middle line:90%
Hello.

00:00:51.070 --> 00:00:52.260 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:52.260 --> 00:00:56.400 align:middle line:84%
So I'm going to read just
a 15 minute selection

00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:58.830 align:middle line:90%
from Speculation.

00:00:58.830 --> 00:01:03.010 align:middle line:84%
And I like to kind of do
it in the narrative order

00:01:03.010 --> 00:01:04.260 align:middle line:90%
in which the book was written.

00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:07.320 align:middle line:84%
So I'll just kind of be
flowing through the book,

00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:09.860 align:middle line:84%
and I'll stop at
certain moments.

00:01:09.860 --> 00:01:12.000 align:middle line:90%
