00:00:01.230 --> 00:00:03.210 align:middle line:84%
Tonight's reading is
the last in the series

00:00:03.210 --> 00:00:05.610 align:middle line:84%
for Writers at Work and
for the Poetry Center.

00:00:05.610 --> 00:00:08.610 align:middle line:84%
But there are two events
I would like to announce.

00:00:08.610 --> 00:00:11.340 align:middle line:84%
On Friday afternoon,
there will be

00:00:11.340 --> 00:00:16.140 align:middle line:84%
an autograph party for
LD Clark's new novel,

00:00:16.140 --> 00:00:17.910 align:middle line:90%
"The Fifth Wind."

00:00:17.910 --> 00:00:22.725 align:middle line:84%
And the party is in the exhibit
lobby, the special collections

00:00:22.725 --> 00:00:27.420 align:middle line:84%
of the university library, from
2:00 to 6:00 in the afternoon.

00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:30.390 align:middle line:84%
And Sunday night, there
will be an open poetry

00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:32.729 align:middle line:90%
reading at La Boca Coffeehouse.

00:00:32.729 --> 00:00:37.250 align:middle line:90%


00:00:37.250 --> 00:00:39.938 align:middle line:84%
And I'm putting out a
creative newsletter--

00:00:39.938 --> 00:00:41.105 align:middle line:90%
creative writers newsletter.

00:00:41.105 --> 00:00:44.276 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:44.276 --> 00:00:46.640 align:middle line:90%


00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.230 align:middle line:84%
If you don't give
me anything, it

00:00:48.230 --> 00:00:50.460 align:middle line:90%
would be a creative newsletter.

00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:52.650 align:middle line:84%
So if you have any
news for me, please.

00:00:52.650 --> 00:00:53.150 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:53.150 --> 00:00:56.680 align:middle line:90%


00:00:56.680 --> 00:01:01.880 align:middle line:84%
We all have punch and cookies
tonight at the Poetry Center.

00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:04.842 align:middle line:84%
If you're one of the two people
in Pima County who haven't been

00:01:04.842 --> 00:01:06.550 align:middle line:84%
to the Poetry Center,
we're at the corner

00:01:06.550 --> 00:01:09.170 align:middle line:90%
of Speedway and Highland.

00:01:09.170 --> 00:01:11.660 align:middle line:84%
We'd like to thank
the ASUA Speakers

00:01:11.660 --> 00:01:14.870 align:middle line:84%
Board for their financial
support for tonight's reading.

00:01:14.870 --> 00:01:20.990 align:middle line:90%


00:01:20.990 --> 00:01:25.530 align:middle line:84%
Mark Strand read
for us early 1971.

00:01:25.530 --> 00:01:27.650 align:middle line:84%
And I think it's quite
unfair that he looks

00:01:27.650 --> 00:01:28.970 align:middle line:90%
just the same as he did then.

00:01:28.970 --> 00:01:31.345 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:31.345 --> 00:01:33.250 align:middle line:90%


00:01:33.250 --> 00:01:36.790 align:middle line:84%
He's published seven
collections of poetry--

00:01:36.790 --> 00:01:41.830 align:middle line:84%
most recently, his Selected
Poems from Atheneum in 1980--

00:01:41.830 --> 00:01:44.680 align:middle line:84%
and one collection of
prose, "The Monument"

00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:48.430 align:middle line:90%
from Ecco Press in 1978.

00:01:48.430 --> 00:01:51.940 align:middle line:84%
He's the editor of
three poetry anthologies

00:01:51.940 --> 00:01:54.850 align:middle line:84%
and a noted translator
of such writers

00:01:54.850 --> 00:02:00.130 align:middle line:84%
as Carlos Drummond de
Andrade, Rafael Alberti.

00:02:00.130 --> 00:02:03.730 align:middle line:84%
He's currently teaching
at the University of Utah

00:02:03.730 --> 00:02:05.080 align:middle line:90%
in Salt Lake.

00:02:05.080 --> 00:02:07.960 align:middle line:84%
And Mr. Strand's books
will be available for sale

00:02:07.960 --> 00:02:09.400 align:middle line:90%
at the reception.

00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.580 align:middle line:84%
