...Greif began by inviting communication. He wanted comments about a slide of a woman holding a baby and began trying to coax comments in a way that no grade school child I know would have tolerated. He also made insulting comments, subtle though they were, to those who obligingly responded to his seemingly meaningless request. At last he let us know how really stupid we were when he pointed out that we hadn't noticed that we couldn't see one of the baby's hands, and that, having actually been to Portugal, and seen the baby and grandmother...
...cold room made colder by the glare of fluorescent lighting. Inside, stage flats, the pine skeletons of platforms, plastic jugs of Elmer's Glue-All and piles of dingy muslin are stacked along several walls. An old upright piano, its guts exposed, has been pushed over to one corner. Grade school desks with writing arms and stenciled numbers on the backs are scattered around the room and an old Mikado poster from the fall is tacked up on one wall. Despite the clutter and trash, Shannon seems empty and a little forlorn...
Krag also met resistance when she tried to get independent work credit for the piano lessons she was taking outside the University. Through freshman and sophomore years she continued the lessons she had been taking since grade school and practiced three hours a day.

She spent the first month of the past summer studying intensively under Russell Sherman, a teacher associated with the New England Conservatory. Sherman at one point, Krag says, told another pupil of his that...
...wanted to be a writer, a desire that apparently never completely died and is now reflected in the verbal orientation of her book. In the six years following graduation Dorfman held a succession of frustrating jobs--she arranged poetry readings for the young poets Grove Press published, taught fifth grade and developed teaching material for elementary school science teachers until at the age of 28, a friend put a camera in her hand and showed her how to use it. That was ten years ago and Dorfman has been taking pictures ever since. She writes in her book, My camera...
