[CLAPPING]

00:00:03.353 --> 00:00:05.750 align:middle line:90%


00:00:05.750 --> 00:00:09.320 align:middle line:84%
Thank you so much for
that moving, deeply moving

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:11.720 align:middle line:84%
introduction, I
teared up a little.

00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:13.430 align:middle line:84%
It's not difficult
to make me do that,

00:00:13.430 --> 00:00:16.160 align:middle line:90%
but that was really moving.

00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:17.970 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:00:17.970 --> 00:00:20.450 align:middle line:90%
Can everyone hear me OK?

00:00:20.450 --> 00:00:23.040 align:middle line:84%
Thank you so much,
everyone, for being here.

00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:25.880 align:middle line:84%
I'm really honored to be a
part of this storied series,

00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:28.640 align:middle line:84%
and to have some time
here in the cottage,

00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.380 align:middle line:84%
and to share these
poems with you.

00:00:30.380 --> 00:00:33.230 align:middle line:84%
I've been traveling
all year, sharing

00:00:33.230 --> 00:00:35.060 align:middle line:84%
the book in different
parts of the country,

00:00:35.060 --> 00:00:39.770 align:middle line:84%
and even abroad luckily enough,
and it feels really right

00:00:39.770 --> 00:00:42.860 align:middle line:84%
somehow to close out
this year of touring here

00:00:42.860 --> 00:00:43.740 align:middle line:90%
with all of you.

00:00:43.740 --> 00:00:47.940 align:middle line:84%
So I'll read from the book,
the book is in three sections,

00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:50.210 align:middle line:84%
and I'll just trace us
through the book letting

00:00:50.210 --> 00:00:52.380 align:middle line:90%
the work speak for itself.

00:00:52.380 --> 00:00:55.720 align:middle line:84%
Thank you so much
again for being here.
