...noted poet and six musicians will perform during the coming week. George Starbuck, the 1960 Yale Younger Poet, will read from his poems tomorrow afternoon at 4:30 p.m. in the Lamont Forum Room. Starbuck's reading will be the second in a series inaugurated last week. After this reading, which is free and open to the public, the poet will welcome questions and discussion...
Choice among the poetry selections are George Starbuck's Poems For a First Year in Boston (dedicated to Jonathan Edwards on the bicentenary of his death): "I. New Year: Arrival from San Francisco," "II. Olympus Having Weathered One More Winter in Boston," "III. Boston: Progress Report."

Both are very tightly written, exotic pieces: "Moulay Ismail and King Louis' Daughter," and "Near Marrakech." The second of these is particularly ingenious and vivid...
...magazine is worth its price for Starbuck alone, but there's more. John W. Loofbourow interviews the Poets' Theatre personified in an enlightening dialogue marred only by a pedantic reference to Latin drama in the Elizabethan universities. Of 21 or so drawings by Joyce Reopel, Kaffe Fassett, Zero Mostel, Arthur Polonsky, Lynn Schroeder, Jane Nichols, John Wilson, and Renzo Grazzini, more kind words might be said, but that would require another review...
...water; to the roof of the deckhouse there clung five sick and starving men, Eric de Bisschop and his four-man crew. Ahead of them lay the foam-edged sickle of the reef of Rakahanga in the northern Cook Islands. They had already missed landfalls at the Tuamotus, at Starbuck and Penrhyn Islands. There was no option but to shoot the reef at Rakahanga in the hope of reaching the calm lagoon and the fresh water and food that lay beyond...
