Our newsletter, which has a calendar of our upcoming
events.
And I brought some more copies of the newsletter, which
has the winners of the contest.
And I put those out on the refreshment table.
And I hope you can stay tonight and have
some refreshments with us and meet Leslie Scalapino.
Our next reading will be two weeks
from tonight in this auditorium, visiting poet
from Poland, Adam Zagajewski.
But before that reading, there are
a number of events going on.
Tomorrow night, Leslie Scalapino will
be presenting a talk and a one-act play,
sponsored by Chax Press and Among Other Things
at The Central Arts Collective at 8 o'clock.
And there is no charge for admission,
but they do ask for donations.
Is that right, Joe?
Among Other Things.
Yeah, Among Other Things will be asking for some donations.
And Writers at Work has a reading next Wednesday night
in this auditorium, Bob Schirmer and Mark Richard.
The Lamplight Readings are at the first Sunday of the month.
And this Sunday night is a reading
by Roger Hecht and Bill Marsh.
And that's at Bentley's.
And the next in the Chax Press series
at the Tucson Museum of Art will be next Tuesday night.
Excuse me.
No.
Tuesday after.
Tuesday after next, the 7th.
And that reader then is Steve McCaffrey.
So you really should pick up one of these
because it gives the place and time for each event.
Also, in honor of Leslie Scalapino,
there's going to be a potluck party at Bill Marsh's house
Friday night.
And we have some maps for this.
And you can get one from Bill after the reading.
Leslie Scalapino comes to us from Oakland.
In addition to her writing, she's
the editor and publisher of O Books, which
publishes contemporary poetry.
Her honors include grants from the National Endowment
for the Arts.
She's published seven collections of poetry,
most recently, That They Were At The Beach and Way.
And we have some of her books available for sale
at a very special discount price after the reading tonight.
So would you please welcome Leslie Scalapino.

Thank you.
