In the beginning, at the dawn of the 1970s, there was Verlin and Kay Cassill at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. On the second day, there was Bill Harrison at the University of Arkansas and George Garrett, then at Hollins College. On the third day, there was the poet Leonard Randolph, recently appointed head of the Literature program at the National Endowment for the Arts.

Wow, reading Bob Day’s piece at the above link certainly brought back memories of WC’s late, great Richmond House (on College Ave. in front of the maintenance building) and its often hilarious “culture.” I was occasionally in and out (and sometimes stayed awhile) to pick up or return his office IBM Selectric typewriter (then considered a wonder) or manuscript chapters for the books he was preparing. It actually was all very 70s, in various ways.
