Huh, Norman hasn't read here since I've been here (I arrived '06). I
don't know the history before that. He did give a talk for the 21st C
Poetic Praxis series, maybe in 2007. It was my idea to bring him in
the next year or so alongside someone farther-flung -- I thought it
would be nice to add him to the Susana Gardner bill, for ex, if we had
spare change. We're not talking about adding any dates to the
calendar.

The spring seems to be always full of late additions while our money's running out. It's almost predictable. I can foresee a time when our funding will be cut, so the top MU salaries can be raised a bit more.
