Spring Ferments Ars Poetica: Puddle-Wonderful Plagiarism? by Emily McDermott, '68 Poetry is In in spring. What’s more, spring is In in poetry, Al- most every poet worth his salt has had a few words to say about spring, Of course, the popularity of the subject makes it a little dif- ficult to say anything that has not already been said a dozen or more times, Therefore, we at the COL- LEGE NEWS would like to suggest to budding poets that they scrap originality when dealing with spring and devote themselves to repeating what has already been said, This can be done in two dif- ferent ways. The first technique derives from the *‘collage’? method of painting. It might therefore be called ‘‘col- lage’? poetry. The *‘collage’’ poem consists solely of allusions to or direct steals from other poems: the poet strives to include as few of his own words as possible. The following is an example of this kind of poetry: April is the cruellest month, mixing (as from unburied which) memory and desire, stirring dull roots with DEFENSE DE CEUILLIR.

For example: rain... lamb... buds love ... green... pussywillows If the poet is of a more cynical bent, he can amend this last poem to read: : rain... lamb... buds love ... green... pussywillows hell (Such a trick ending gives the reader something profound to think about). The Idea Poem canbe sim- plified even further, until it reads simply ‘‘SPRING!’? But perhaps that defeats the purpese of writing the poem in the first place.

$350.00 “Seance” Absorbing Drama Even on a Dry Afternoon -by Nancy McAdams, '65 The thing is, see, is that you’ve just gotta see SEANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON at the Bryn Mawr Theatre!! The raindrops fall slowly into a grimy puddle on a grimy street. © The puddle mirrors a grimy Vic- torian mansion giving ominous warning of the eerie drama about to unfold within. The house looks like all those ugly dilapidated mansions of a by- gone era; the kind present in sub- urbs everywhere, the kind remin- iscent of better days, the kind always leading one to imagine strange and sinister happenings which have no part inthe humdrum activities of daily life. This house, indeed, is the backdrop for a very strange and sinister situation. Kim Stanley and Richard Atten- borough, as the couple about whom the story revolves, fit into this .backdrop perfectly. She was once a beauty, with a still beauti- ful face reflecting the powerful ‘emotions and strange visions which completely dominate her, and move her to believe she can make con- tact, as a medium, with the souls of the dead, She holds seances, in a dark room with only a single candle burning in the center of the table, - and conveys messages from ‘the dead to their relatives still on earth, Her husband is a quiet tortured man, who is painfully aware of the ~~ twisted nature of her mina, He ac- quiesces to her every wish, does all that she tells him witha feeling of hopelessness. He has giveninto her, and accepts the unreal condi- tions of their life as inevitable, . ‘It is only with the carrying out of her recently evolved plan to kidnap a child Sitates, This is one step too far, for it will involve them with the world outside, its obvious disapproval and reaction against their way of life, and the serious consequences if their plan should fail, He tries vainly to dis- suade her to refuse tocomply, but then, finally, he gives in to her in this as he has in everything else. The story from here on is com- pletely absorbing and terrifying. It moves swiftly toward a gripping climax and leaves one exhausted and overcome, both by the fascin- ation and suspense of this strange tale, and bythe magnificent and powerful performance of Kim Stan- ley! tonite THRU MONDAY » BROWNEE McGEE also Carol Crist rFRET 1902 SANSOM STREET, LO 7-9640 ern 9:15, 11; FRI. & SAT. 8:30, 10, 12 i ~ FLY NONSTOP INTO YOUR FIELD via BERKELEY SCHOOL Berkeley School is take-off point for responsible, well-paid secretarial positions in glamour fields—advertising, retailing, airlines; and scholarly fields — banking, government, research, medicine, publishing, arts.
