This is our last reading for the term, but Writers at Work
has one more reading, one week from tonight
in the Terrace Lounge in the Student Union.
A fiction reading by Karen Brennan, Kit McIlroy
and Pete Turchi.
That's Wednesday, the 23rd.
And the Mosaic series has two more readings for this term.
The 4th of June, the readers will be Charles Alexander,
Emil Baird, Julian [? Gajewski. ?] And in June,
Gary Meyers, Frank [? Moyel ?],, and Evelyn Ellstrom.
You may have received an announcement
of the Writing for Survival and Healing
reading, sponsored next Tuesday night by the Rape Task Force.
There's a fine article about this program in the Tucson
Weekly today.
And some of these announcements that
will give you all the details of time and place,
have been left on the refreshment table in the Hall.
If you need a reading fix after all of those,
you come to the Poetry Center and listen to the tapes.
We make tape recordings of the readings.
It's wonderful to sit back there in that nice little room,
and here the beautiful voices again.
I think we've had a wonderful year,
and this is such a great way for us to close it,
with this poem reading that we're
going to have tonight with Sharon Olds.
Sharon Olds' second book of poetry,
The Dead and The Living, was the Lamont poetry selection
in the Academy of American Poets from 1985.
Her first book, Satan Says.
Her work appears in the Pushcart Poetry anthologies, the Norton
Introduction to Poetry, such places
in the New Yorker, the Atlantic Monthly, The American Poetry
Review and many other magazines.
Her honors include fellowships from the National Endowment
for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation.
She's currently living in New York City, Sharon Olds.
