Cultural Writing. Biography and Memoir. An historical document...interview with poet Kenneth Patchen (PM Newspaper 1946) and four volumes of Holly Beye's journals from 1949-1950 in Greenwich Village. "It was a powerful, absorbing, hopeful, productive time, pregnant with promise. And it was, therefore, despite the hardship, a happy time. We are fortunate these lively, perceptive journals survived, along with their writer"--Betty Ballentine.
