Hi, everybody.

00:00:01.230 --> 00:00:03.160 align:middle line:90%
How are you all?

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:04.000 align:middle line:90%
Good work.

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:04.793 align:middle line:90%
All right.

00:00:04.793 --> 00:00:06.460 align:middle line:84%
We're going to get
the show on the road.

00:00:06.460 --> 00:00:08.510 align:middle line:84%
It's nice to have such
a great crowd here.

00:00:08.510 --> 00:00:09.640 align:middle line:90%
Thanks for coming.

00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:12.010 align:middle line:84%
And nice to have a little
bit warmer weather in Tucson.

00:00:12.010 --> 00:00:14.540 align:middle line:84%
Really glad and
happy about that.

00:00:14.540 --> 00:00:16.670 align:middle line:84%
But a thrill to have
everybody here today.

00:00:16.670 --> 00:00:17.648 align:middle line:90%
My name is Tyler.

00:00:17.648 --> 00:00:19.690 align:middle line:84%
I work as the director
here at the Poetry Center.

00:00:19.690 --> 00:00:22.330 align:middle line:84%
I want to welcome everybody
here to the Poetry Center.

00:00:22.330 --> 00:00:24.490 align:middle line:84%
A couple of things I'll
just say really quickly.

00:00:24.490 --> 00:00:26.830 align:middle line:84%
Restrooms are just
through the door

00:00:26.830 --> 00:00:28.660 align:middle line:84%
here on the other side
of this gray wall,

00:00:28.660 --> 00:00:29.750 align:middle line:90%
if anybody needs those.

00:00:29.750 --> 00:00:32.680 align:middle line:84%
And there's a water
fountain over there too.

00:00:32.680 --> 00:00:35.350 align:middle line:84%
The Poetry Center has lots
of things happening related

00:00:35.350 --> 00:00:38.410 align:middle line:84%
to poetry, and so this calendar,
which is conveniently sized

00:00:38.410 --> 00:00:41.080 align:middle line:84%
to fit on your fridge, or
in other attractive places

00:00:41.080 --> 00:00:43.900 align:middle line:84%
in your homes or
apartments, can be picked up

00:00:43.900 --> 00:00:47.440 align:middle line:84%
and there's a stack of these
around by the table on the door

00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:48.410 align:middle line:90%
as you go.

00:00:48.410 --> 00:00:51.160 align:middle line:84%
There's also information
about Teva Community,

00:00:51.160 --> 00:00:53.750 align:middle line:84%
which we're going to hear
more about in a little bit.

00:00:53.750 --> 00:00:55.300 align:middle line:84%
There are some
books from Aulton,

00:00:55.300 --> 00:00:57.100 align:middle line:84%
one of the lyricists
and poets that's

00:00:57.100 --> 00:01:00.560 align:middle line:84%
worked with Brian as a
collaborator on the album.

00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.160 align:middle line:84%
And so those are available
if you want to pick those up,

00:01:03.160 --> 00:01:05.570 align:middle line:84%
and then other just
general information.

00:01:05.570 --> 00:01:07.570 align:middle line:84%
And that's all on that
table that's by the door

00:01:07.570 --> 00:01:10.150 align:middle line:90%
as you go outside.

00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:13.660 align:middle line:84%
So we're going to have a
quick little orientation

00:01:13.660 --> 00:01:16.100 align:middle line:84%
session to the work that
Teva Community does.

00:01:16.100 --> 00:01:20.350 align:middle line:84%
And I want to really thank the
work that Amy Greiner has been

00:01:20.350 --> 00:01:22.870 align:middle line:84%
doing there, but
also just generally

00:01:22.870 --> 00:01:24.550 align:middle line:84%
about connecting with
the Poetry Center

00:01:24.550 --> 00:01:26.530 align:middle line:84%
and connecting poets
in the communities

00:01:26.530 --> 00:01:28.528 align:middle line:84%
that she's involved
with and in her family

00:01:28.528 --> 00:01:30.820 align:middle line:84%
with what's happening here
at the Poetry Center, that's

00:01:30.820 --> 00:01:34.430 align:middle line:84%
been an incredible gift,
and I'm so grateful for it.

00:01:34.430 --> 00:01:37.268 align:middle line:84%
And so more thank you's to come
and an introduction to Brian

00:01:37.268 --> 00:01:39.310 align:middle line:84%
for the music, but I want
to welcome up Amy first

00:01:39.310 --> 00:01:41.080 align:middle line:84%
to come talk about
Teva Community.

00:01:41.080 --> 00:01:44.044 align:middle line:90%
[CLAPPING]

00:01:44.044 --> 00:01:45.885 align:middle line:90%
[CHEERING]

00:01:45.885 --> 00:01:47.010 align:middle line:90%
Do I need to use this seat?

00:01:47.010 --> 00:01:48.890 align:middle line:90%
Yeah, probably.
