It was absolutely worth
the stage fright just

00:00:08.230 --> 00:00:09.260 align:middle line:90%
to receive that.

00:00:09.260 --> 00:00:10.690 align:middle line:90%
So thank you.

I graduated the MFA in the
quarantine with a new baby,

00:00:17.290 --> 00:00:22.070 align:middle line:84%
and I did my graduation reading
from our little nursery on Zoom.

00:00:22.070 --> 00:00:23.770 align:middle line:84%
So it feels very
special to be here

00:00:23.770 --> 00:00:26.140 align:middle line:90%
in the space with the people.

00:00:26.140 --> 00:00:29.520 align:middle line:84%
So thank you to everyone
who makes that possible.
