Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. Poetry History & Criticism. "An increasingly articulate record of 'those happy few' who were its persons in the closing years of the college. The poet and rector Charles Olson makes an ample and defining pivot for the meld of stories here told of persons in displacing crisis, of elders confounded with responsibility and poverty, of the all too indifferent world surrounding this fragile company in perhaps the most decisive experiment ever to be attempted in the history of American educational enterprise." Robert Creeley
