Andrea Dworkin, a new friend. We are on a program together at Smith College, April 1974. It is the first time either of us has made the big-time college lecture scene and we are high from the guest star treatment. The women give Andrea a standing ovation when she finishes reading the prose piece she'd written for the occasion.

We get through at midnight; there's nothing to do in Northampton, no place to go for coffee and talk. No place to celebrate. So she drives with me back to Boston. We have a marvelous breakfast; Ilene comes over, and so does Charlotte Ibetz, Creeley's daughter. I take a whole roll of film, but in my excitement misload the camera. After all these years! 'A moment not meant to be preserved, just enjoyed,' I tell them. This is one of three images that came out.
