OK.

00:00:00.690 --> 00:00:03.360 align:middle line:84%
So again, thank you all
for joining us this evening

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:06.000 align:middle line:84%
and for allowing me to
share just a bit more

00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:08.910 align:middle line:84%
now about Terrain.org,
especially for those of you who

00:00:08.910 --> 00:00:11.040 align:middle line:90%
are new to our online magazine.

00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:16.870 align:middle line:84%
Terrain was founded in 1997
and first published in 1998.

00:00:16.870 --> 00:00:18.520 align:middle line:84%
I only have 5 or 6
more pages of this.

00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:21.400 align:middle line:84%
So we'll be-- I'll
be pretty quick.

00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:24.280 align:middle line:84%
Originally, we were subtitled
"A journal of the built

00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:25.900 align:middle line:90%
and natural environments."

00:00:25.900 --> 00:00:28.150 align:middle line:84%
But now we consider
ourselves more a journal

00:00:28.150 --> 00:00:31.270 align:middle line:84%
of place and
climate and justice.

00:00:31.270 --> 00:00:33.700 align:middle line:84%
Terrain.org publishes
both literary works

00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:36.460 align:middle line:84%
of poetry, fiction,
nonfiction as well as

00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:39.460 align:middle line:84%
interviews and artwork
and editorials and reviews

00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:42.070 align:middle line:84%
and the Unsprawl
sustainable community case

00:00:42.070 --> 00:00:44.470 align:middle line:84%
studies which include a
few case studies from right

00:00:44.470 --> 00:00:48.340 align:middle line:84%
here in Tucson such as Civano
and Armory Park del Sol.

00:00:48.340 --> 00:00:51.920 align:middle line:84%
And because we're online, we
include interactive elements,

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.480 align:middle line:84%
so audio, video, image
galleries, interactive maps,

00:00:55.480 --> 00:00:57.850 align:middle line:90%
and more than that.

00:00:57.850 --> 00:00:59.320 align:middle line:90%
You guys can come on in.

00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:00.280 align:middle line:90%
There are some seats.

00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:02.080 align:middle line:90%
Don't be shy.

00:01:02.080 --> 00:01:05.200 align:middle line:84%
Terrain.org-- and I think one
of the sort of amazing things

00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:08.470 align:middle line:84%
about Terrain.org is that
we are free to access,

00:01:08.470 --> 00:01:11.560 align:middle line:84%
and we're advertisement
free and always will be.

00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.520 align:middle line:84%
We are run by an all-volunteer
team of editors which

00:01:15.520 --> 00:01:17.290 align:middle line:84%
includes Derek,
our poetry editor,

00:01:17.290 --> 00:01:20.230 align:middle line:84%
and an international editorial
board which includes Allison

00:01:20.230 --> 00:01:23.890 align:middle line:84%
here, as well as Alison Deming
who we talked about earlier,

00:01:23.890 --> 00:01:26.080 align:middle line:90%
and these are also volunteers.

00:01:26.080 --> 00:01:28.930 align:middle line:84%
And we succeed,
I think, not just

00:01:28.930 --> 00:01:31.150 align:middle line:84%
because of the
quality of the work

00:01:31.150 --> 00:01:34.900 align:middle line:84%
we publish which Allison,
Derek, and Julie will so ably

00:01:34.900 --> 00:01:36.770 align:middle line:84%
demonstrate here
in just a minute,

00:01:36.770 --> 00:01:40.600 align:middle line:84%
but because of the community
that we have created.

00:01:40.600 --> 00:01:44.110 align:middle line:84%
The community which as I
look out in the audience now,

00:01:44.110 --> 00:01:47.080 align:middle line:84%
I see many of you
who know of and are

00:01:47.080 --> 00:01:49.360 align:middle line:84%
a part of the
community this evening,

00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:50.900 align:middle line:90%
and I thank you for that.

00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:52.720 align:middle line:84%
And now tonight,
you're all a part

00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:55.560 align:middle line:84%
of the Terrain.org community,
frankly, whether you want to be

00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:56.060 align:middle line:90%
or not.

00:01:56.060 --> 00:01:58.620 align:middle line:84%
So again, thank
you for joining us.

00:01:58.620 --> 00:02:01.940 align:middle line:84%
So-- but let's now get to the
real reason that we're here.

00:02:01.940 --> 00:02:04.370 align:middle line:84%
I will introduce readers
before each shares

00:02:04.370 --> 00:02:08.419 align:middle line:84%
their outstanding work,
and we'll begin with Julie.

00:02:08.419 --> 00:02:12.260 align:middle line:84%
