Ignoring such "barriers" as rhyme and meter, Koch emphasized repetition, which is more natural to children. More important, he got the children to express their "secret feelings, their fantasies-turning them on to their imaginations." As he puts it: "There are lots of kids who have never been praised for saying the sky is purple." His first success came when he asked the class to begin each line with the words "I wish . . ." When Koch read their wish poems aloud, the children began waving, blushing, laughing and jumping up and down. Koch recalls: "It was the first time they realized...
...lean blond youth raised a bottle high, sipped of the red wine laced with acid, and said dreamily: "Canceled? We're not canceled. This time the chime is in rhyme, the sounds are all around." Apprehensive local officials, backed by court orders, had prevented some of the biggest names in the world of rock-Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, Sly and the Family Stone-from performing at the Powder Ridge Ski area near Middlefield, Conn.

I learned how to confine myself to form, how to think thoughts of ten beats. I could scan anything, I learned by examples what poetry really was: the structured, symbolic expression of certain ideals, especially the Good and the Beautiful...
...overture of Rossini's Semiramide. Arpino's brilliant passages of dance invention and his dancers' great innovative skills leave the music behind. The ballet becomes a mere gymnastic feat. Solarwind is different-not a confection gone slickly sour but a modish sci-fi convention pursued without rhyme or reason. In a cosmic mood, Arpino sends his dancers blasting around the stage to assorted flatulent noises-pings, creaks and suckings. The score, by Avant-Garde Composer Jacob Druckman, is entitled Animus III for Tape and Clarinet...
