Hello.
[LAUGHTER]
Thanks for coming out.
It's cold.
[LAUGHTER]
Not like Michigan cold, but Tucson cold.
I'm from Michigan so I got to snark
a little bit about the cold.
But it's like legit cold.
I'm not taking my jacket off yet.
So I'm just here to introduce the evening as one of the two
coordinators of the distinguished
visitors in creative writing series
along with Bojan Louis, who's reading tonight.
And I'm just going to give you the run
of-- the run of the night.
So first, it will be Julie Lunde introducing me.
And then we will have Logan Phillips introducing
Bojan Louis, and then Ingrid Wenzler
will be introducing Manuel Muñoz at the end.
We have a lot of great stuff coming up in the spring,
as well as the Poetry Center also has just a really killer
series of events.
So I want to say thanks so much for having us here tonight,
And it's going to be awesome.
It's the end of the semester, but here we
are together in the cold.
We're going to do this thing.
