Our next reading will be one week from tonight,
visiting poet Carolyn Kizer in this auditorium.
The Sonora Review is sponsoring a reading Monday afternoon.
That's the 17th, Monday afternoon
in Room 251 of the Student Union.
The poet is Nancy Schoenberger.
Copies of Sonora Review will be on sale at the reception
this evening.
And copies of Persona, the undergraduate literary
magazine, will go on sale next Monday
at the Student Union bookstore.
And we'll have some of the Poetry Center too.
We're preparing the first issue of the newsletter.
So this Friday is the last day to turn in any news you have.
I'm sure most of you know we only publish good news.
I have a big stack of these flyers, which
are advertising an October 2nd reading by Scott Momaday
for the Friends of the Library.
And they'll be out on the refreshment table.
Last week, I announced that I had
a bunch of these on the refreshment table
and then held them clutched in my hand for the whole evening.
So there definitely is a stack of these out on the table
tonight.
I hope you'll stay after the reading, talk to Robert Hass,
and have a little--
I hope there's enough cookies.
Some of us didn't get any last week.
We ran out.
Robert Hass comes to us from Berkeley where he's
teaching at St. Mary's College.
He's published two collections of poetry--
Field Guide, which was the winner of the 1972 Yale Series
of Younger Poets, and Praise.
With Robert Pinsky and Renata Gorczynski,
he translated Czeslaw Milosz, The Separate Notebooks.
His most recent publication is a collection
of prose on poetry called 20th Century Pleasures.
In addition to the Yale prize, he's
been the recipient of Woodrow Wilson Foundation
Grant, Danforth Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and most
recently that great prize, the MacArthur Grant.
Robert read for us in 1979.
Many of you were here then.
So you know that we have a great treat in store for us tonight.
Robert Hass.
