[APPLAUSE]

00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.620 align:middle line:84%
Thank you so much for
that introduction, Kelsi.

00:00:06.620 --> 00:00:11.440 align:middle line:84%
And thank you, Tyler, and thank
you, Paola, and everyone here.

00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:13.600 align:middle line:90%
I'm just honored to be here.

00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:16.980 align:middle line:84%
It is such a special
place, as all of you know.

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:19.440 align:middle line:84%
I mean, I can tell you,
coming from the East Coast,

00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.640 align:middle line:84%
there aren't a lot
of places that devote

00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:23.220 align:middle line:90%
this much attention to poetry.

00:00:23.220 --> 00:00:26.560 align:middle line:84%
So when I say it's
special, it is.

00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:28.040 align:middle line:90%
So I feel very honored.

00:00:28.040 --> 00:00:32.060 align:middle line:84%
When I look at the photos on
the wall of all the past poets,

00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:33.740 align:middle line:84%
I'm like, am I really
going to be here?

00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:37.500 align:middle line:84%
But all right, let's
see what happens.

00:00:37.500 --> 00:00:39.040 align:middle line:90%
OK.

00:00:39.040 --> 00:00:40.820 align:middle line:84%
So I'm going to hop
around a little bit.

00:00:40.820 --> 00:00:42.480 align:middle line:84%
I'll read from
Glitter Road, which

00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:45.560 align:middle line:84%
is my current book, and
then Rewilding, and then

00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:47.080 align:middle line:90%
some of the new stuff.

00:00:47.080 --> 00:00:50.130 align:middle line:90%
So OK.

00:00:50.130 --> 00:00:53.000 align:middle line:90%
