About this Item

Purchase College, State University of New York - early 1970s brainchild of Nelson Rockefeller, designed as the perfect "menage a trois" of arts, liberal arts, and sciences - hip, intense, an isolated oasis, an honors/pass/no-credit grading system. Then came the budget cuts and the insidious letter-grade quantification of achievement, along with Albany's increasingly conservative answers to the question: "What is higher education?" The campus has always been fertile soil for poetry, blossoming as "art", self-therapy, protest, confession, or escapism. Here is another annual selection of works, mostly by students but with an occasional contribution from professors and staff (also including Frank Kazynski, R.P.Kracik, Richard Lann, Debrah Levy, Elizabeth Logun, Janet Magnussen-Morgan, Jody O'Neil, Inez Risseew, Lee Schlesinger, Robin Schoen, Susan Schwartz, Elizabeth L. Shaw, Michele Madigan Somerville, Paul Spillenger, Carole Stewart, Eric Stull, and Synn), plus work by "outsiders" Mitchel Cohen, Jill Hoffman, Evelyn Horowitz, David Lehman, Jim McInerny, George Mosby Jr., Louis Phillips, and Ruth Lisa Schechter. Professor Lee Schlesinger served as Faculty Advisor for this issue. 51+ pages. CONDITION: a bright, tight, unmarked, uncreased copy with negligible shelf-wear - now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag with backing board.
