I still have a chapbook with excerpts from her writing. I think it came in the mail after I contributed to that scholarship.<br /><br />Did you know Jim Doyle at Fordham? There are some posts about him in these pages.

Fordham has recognized her with the Claire Hahn Becker award.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045631445680152398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-48810392580395344062013-08-31T07:54:23.545-05:002013-08-31T07:54:23.545-05:00Happy to hear that newer editions still have it.

It’s not in the table of contents though. To my surprise, the unabridged has it too.
