     My time at Drew, my last alma mater, ( in Madison, New Jersey)  was not spent with poetry, but with more of a background in literature, history, and religion. This "holy grail" was the interdisciplinary doctorate in Humanities that has eluded me for years. University of California-Irvine advertised one, but when I asked about it after my arrival, was bluntly told that  "We don't have  it anymore."

    Akicia Ostriker has some distinguished predecessors in her new role, but certainly she can carry on their work! Congratulations!
