...love that the school is invested in, and willing to put out the effort and money to, support sustainability,” said Spring Greeney ’09, who has registered for the conference. “People were thrilled about the conference,” said Leith Sharp, director of the GCI. “They seem to be very happy about what’s going on at Harvard.” The conference continues through Saturday.

...didn’t have to be that way. At a few points, Wright reveals sharp humor and a delightful weirdness. The conclusion of “Od Hearing,” in which the narrator senses his estrangement from the people around him, is a striking blend of vulgarity and surrealism: “Kiss me/an easy death whispers: I want you to/come in my mouth—// Wolves/ with bright amethyst teeth smiling...
