We have one more reading one week from tonight.
Roger Weingarten from Arizona State University
will be reading for us in this auditorium.
Don't forget to come have punch and cookies at the Union
after the reading and meet Mr. Wright.
We'd like to put out one more issue of the newsletter
before school's out.
But until you give me some more news,
we can't put out a newsletter.
I get embarrassed walking up and down the hall up there,
asking people for news.
So please give me a note and let us
include any good news you have.
Charles Wright comes to us from the University of California
at Irvine, most recently, though he's a southerner by birth.
What's the name-- what's the town you made up--
The town I made up?
Where you were born.
I didn't make it up.

In Pickwick, Tennesse.
He says he was born in Pickwick, Tennessee.

Mr. Wright's work has appeared in all of the usual poetry
magazines, such as Poetry, New Yorker, Antaeus,
Lillabulero, Partisan Review, North American Review.
There's a long series of books, mainly from Wesleyan University
Press.
Most recently, China Trace.
He's been a Fulbright scholar and Fulbright lecturer,
he's had a Guggenheim Fellowship, winner
of the Academy of American Poets Edgar Allan Poe award in 1976.
We're very happy to have Charles Wright here with us today.
