120 Charles Street, The Village

"Poet, playwright, journalist, and activist, Holly Beye has brought back the life of Greenwich Village at the end of the 1940s, when artists shared and dared. Intimate friends with Kenneth and Miriam Patchen, Jonathan Williams, and others, she and her painter-engraver-printer husband, David Ruff, lived for the moment and dreamed and worked for a new world order. In these journals recovered from those times she shares that vision and deep concern."--book jacket.
