You use the past tense; -- is Iris still alive? I met Alice Denham and Iris Owens in the late '70s. They're a bit older than me. I remain both impressed and...
The last time I saw Iris was at the artist Myron Stout's studio/home in Provincetown in the early 1970s. At that time, Farrar Strauss had republished After...
American Heritage has suspended publication. It was lavish and utterly middlebrow. By coincidence I picked up a couple copies just before the suspension was...
Middlebrow it may have been, but I loved it as a kid (cf Ford Maddox Ford on Captain Marryatt) To pick a point, with the general american public, I don't think...
Frederick Law Olmsted saved my life four times. In the winters at McGill in Montreal I would climb Mount Royal, his park. In Chicago I'd walk along the lake in...

Sounds like a life, guys. Centerfolds who wrote smut, partyers with intellect... Those were the days? About a decade ago, during a summer foray into the world...
