QUOTE: I had spent my first two years of college, from 1967 to 1969, at San Francisco State, studying poetry and fiction under the mentorship of Irish poet James Liddy and renowned American writer Kay Boyle, before transferring to Berkeley. I was dismayed as many were, by the leadership of SF State under President S.I. Hayakawa and left for Cal.
