The catbird, a jazz artist, works his exotic repertoire. Above, a robin, stuck on repeat, warns of a predator walking below. The cool quiet redescends on Sagaponack.

Giving Light

After 47 years, I am retiring as a professor at the State University of New York at Old Westbury. A professor is what I always wanted to be.

I was coupled with the president of Queens College, toured it, visited classes, spoke with professors. My trajectory changed at 17, when I went to ... by Karl Grossman
