Side-Stapled Wraps. Condition: Fine. Purchase College, State University of New York - early 1970s brainchild of Nelson Rockefeller, designed as the perfect "menage a trois" of arts, liberal arts, and sciences - hip, intense, an isolated oasis, an honors/pass/no-credit grading system. Then came the budget cuts and the insidious letter-grade quantification of achievement, along with Albany's increasingly conservative answers to the question: "What is higher education?" The campus has always been fertile soil for poetry, blossoming as "art", self-therapy, protest, confession, or escapism. Here is another annual selection of works, mostly by students but with an occasional contribution from professors and staff (also including Frank Kazynski, R.P.Kracik, Richard Lann, Debrah Levy, Elizabeth Logun, Janet Magnussen-Morgan, Jody O'Neil, Inez Risseew, Lee Schlesinger, Robin Schoen, Susan Schwartz, Elizabeth L. Shaw, Michele Madigan Somerville, Paul Spillenger, Carole Stewart, Eric Stull, and Synn), plus work by "outsiders" Mitchel Cohen, Jill Hoffman, Evelyn Horowitz, David Lehman, Jim McInerny, George Mosby Jr., Louis Phillips, and Ruth Lisa Schechter. Professor Lee Schlesinger served as Faculty Advisor for this issue. 51+ pages. CONDITION: a bright, tight, unmarked, uncreased copy with negligible shelf-wear - now in a clear, protective polypropylene bag with backing board.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Beloved author Anne Coombs' final novel - a gentle satire with a rapier edge that captures the joys and hypocrisies of a mid-nineties version of the Australian bourgeouise.Raymond causes a stir in country town Glaston when he buys Glastonbridge, a house of vast, neo-Gothic fantasy abandoned for decades. It's an ambitious project, and all previous renovators have come to grief. Out of the woodwork real estate agents, a jealous sister, the heritage council, prospective tourism operators and journalists, proffering opinions, make his life a misery.As the restoration goes on, Raymond becomes increasingly isolated, unable to trust anyone, alienating his friends and giving courage to his enemies. He believes that unseen forces are trying to remove him from his grand project.At turns pitied, admired, humoured and loved, Raymond undoubtedly has the knowledge, vision and fortune to make Glastonbridge thrive again, but will he be able to see it through?Glass Houses is a gentle satire with a rapier edge, perfectly capturing the socially mobile mid-nineties milieu of city folk with country houses. Anne Coombs's final novel is about finding your place of refuge and reaching for what you want. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A beautiful meditation on the awe-inspiring responsibility we hold with other living creatures: from their containment and loss of freedom to our intense and mysteriously mutual love.How do animals guard, serve, and care for us? And how and why do we love them so much?Anne Coombs spent her entire life working to understand the profound answers that come from these two deceptively simple questions. Before her death in late 2021 she researched the topic extensively and reflected deeply on her own experiences with animals, both domestic and in the paddocks. The animals in her life were privy to her deepest and darkest emotions: her despair, her tears and her love.In Our Familiars Anne calls for all animal caregivers to use our great creative imaginations to see animals as conducting lives as meaningful as our own, intersecting in our intimate spaces. She has left us with a beautiful meditation on the awe-inspiring responsibility we take on with other living creatures: from their containment and loss of freedom, to our intense and mysteriously mutual love.Opening with the story of Anne's childhood familiar, Elsie the goat, this tender book takes us on an expansive journey that is part personal memoir, part insightful research, and part noble call to action.With her last book, Anne leaves us an invaluable gift. With wit, humour, and insight, she implores us to feel wonder as we watch how our animal companions live.
