Hey, everyone.

00:00:03.302 --> 00:00:03.802 align:middle line:90%
Hello.

00:00:03.802 --> 00:00:06.480 align:middle line:90%


00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:09.690 align:middle line:84%
Thank you so much for coming
out for our final reading

00:00:09.690 --> 00:00:13.170 align:middle line:84%
of the season here
at the Poetry Center.

00:00:13.170 --> 00:00:15.930 align:middle line:90%
I'm going to be very brief.

00:00:15.930 --> 00:00:18.300 align:middle line:84%
Most of you already
know me, Diana Delgado,

00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:19.830 align:middle line:90%
literary director here.

00:00:19.830 --> 00:00:24.570 align:middle line:84%
But tonight we're really, really
excited to host our colleagues

00:00:24.570 --> 00:00:29.450 align:middle line:84%
from the MFA program to do
a triple header reading--

00:00:29.450 --> 00:00:30.150 align:middle line:90%
[CHEERING]

00:00:30.150 --> 00:00:31.090 align:middle line:90%
Whew.

00:00:31.090 --> 00:00:34.350 align:middle line:90%
[CHEERING]

00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:35.880 align:middle line:90%
Of do-- books.

00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.070 align:middle line:90%
I mean, it's kind of like--

00:00:38.070 --> 00:00:41.700 align:middle line:84%
it's just fantastic
just to see that.

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:44.460 align:middle line:84%
We all are still writing
despite everything

00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:47.140 align:middle line:84%
that we have been
challenged with.

00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:52.120 align:middle line:84%
So I'm going to just say a
few things at the very end,

00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:56.640 align:middle line:84%
I'll come back up to talk a
little bit about some updates

00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:57.990 align:middle line:90%
about the Poetry Center.

00:00:57.990 --> 00:01:02.130 align:middle line:84%
But for right now, I'd like
to invite Ander Monson up

00:01:02.130 --> 00:01:05.400 align:middle line:84%
to begin and kick
off the reading.

00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:06.914 align:middle line:90%
Ander.

00:01:06.914 --> 00:01:07.414 align:middle line:90%
