Hey, everyone.
Hello.
Thank you so much for coming out for our final reading
of the season here at the Poetry Center.
I'm going to be very brief.
Most of you already know me, Diana Delgado,
literary director here.
But tonight we're really, really excited to host our colleagues
from the MFA program to do a triple header reading--
[CHEERING]
Whew.
[CHEERING]
Of do-- books.
I mean, it's kind of like--
it's just fantastic just to see that.
We all are still writing despite everything
that we have been challenged with.
So I'm going to just say a few things at the very end,
I'll come back up to talk a little bit about some updates
about the Poetry Center.
But for right now, I'd like to invite Ander Monson up
to begin and kick off the reading.
Ander.
