We signed petitions to eradicate the II-S deferment and then petitions to reinstate it. We circulated "We Won't Go" statements and "We Might Not Go" advertisements, and "We'd Rather Not Go" petitions...

Shows are often scheduled on the basis of requests found in the suggestion box, giving local residents, as Kinard points out, a real feeling of "this is our thing." Even the reality of violence in the ghetto is being dramatized; last...
...explorations?" wrote Whitman, who has been dead long enough to find a place in the hagiography of hip. As of now, few young poets feel the need to justify their work with critical commentary. George Amabile's response is typical: "I can't think of anything that wouldn't sound pompous or absurd." Such an attitude may not prove healthy for poetics, but it is good for poetry...
