In addition to the reading tonight and tomorrow night,
the four poets are participating in panel discussions.
We had one this afternoon, and there
will be another tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock
in the junior ballroom.
I forgot to tell about the cookie thing.
Please come to the union following the reading
tonight for crunchy cookies.
We'll be back in our usual spot in the terraced lounge.
Carolyn Kizer comes to us from Berkeley,
where she's currently living.
Her books include The Ungrateful Garden, Knock Upon Silence,
and Midnight was My Cry.
She was co-founder of Poetry Northwest.
She has served for the United States State Department
as Poet in Residence in Pakistan.
She has served as program director for literature

So very happy to introduce to you Carolyn Kizer.
