Storrs Lee. Frost's two page preface "The Doctrine of Excursions" on the purpose of Bread Loaf: "it should be redefined if it is to be kept from degenerating into a mere summer resort for routine education in English, or worse still for the encouragement of vain ambition in literature", is the highlight of this first anthology from the writers conference where Frost spent many summers during most of his career. Poetry from students, faculty and others associated with the school. An exceptional copy with faint offsetting from the still present only lightly worn, spine-toned, fragile jacket.
