00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:08.655 align:middle line:90%
Joni, that was amazing.

00:00:08.655 --> 00:00:12.070 align:middle line:90%


00:00:12.070 --> 00:00:15.090 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:00:15.090 --> 00:00:18.640 align:middle line:84%
It's a real privilege
to be back here.

00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:21.900 align:middle line:84%
Thank you to everyone
here at the Poetry Center.

00:00:21.900 --> 00:00:23.130 align:middle line:90%
Thank you, Tyler.

00:00:23.130 --> 00:00:23.970 align:middle line:90%
Thank you, Paola.

00:00:23.970 --> 00:00:25.450 align:middle line:90%
Thank you, everyone.

00:00:25.450 --> 00:00:28.090 align:middle line:90%
Thank you all for being here.

00:00:28.090 --> 00:00:29.985 align:middle line:84%
Thank you, Arizona,

00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:36.300 align:middle line:90%
Well, let's see.

00:00:36.300 --> 00:00:39.780 align:middle line:90%


00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:45.950 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to read a bit from
this memoir Joni talked about,

00:00:45.950 --> 00:00:48.770 align:middle line:84%
and then I'm going to read
some poems from Father's Day,

00:00:48.770 --> 00:00:50.660 align:middle line:84%
and then I'll read
some new poems that

00:00:50.660 --> 00:00:56.180 align:middle line:84%
are going to be in this book,
I Love Hearing Your Dreams.

00:00:56.180 --> 00:01:00.490 align:middle line:84%
I haven't really read
these new poems very much.

00:01:00.490 --> 00:01:02.990 align:middle line:84%
I haven't been giving that many
readings over the past year,

00:01:02.990 --> 00:01:06.290 align:middle line:84%
just through circumstance,
so some of them

00:01:06.290 --> 00:01:09.540 align:middle line:84%
will be as new to me as they
are to you, practically,

00:01:09.540 --> 00:01:12.170 align:middle line:84%
so thank you for your
patience in advance.

00:01:12.170 --> 00:01:14.750 align:middle line:90%


00:01:14.750 --> 00:01:16.580 align:middle line:84%
And I'll probably
dip into the memoir

00:01:16.580 --> 00:01:19.580 align:middle line:84%
a few times along the way,
so we'll see how this goes.

00:01:19.580 --> 00:01:21.080 align:middle line:84%
We'll be on a journey
together, man.

00:01:21.080 --> 00:01:22.310 align:middle line:90%
It's going to be OK.

00:01:22.310 --> 00:01:23.860 align:middle line:90%
So.
