Hoagland presents poetry for Plutzik series
I always pictured Tony Hoagland as a tall man. And though the author photo on the back of Hoagland's latest chapbook 'Little Oceans" features the poet from the chest up, there is still something towering about him. In the portrait, Hoagland cocks his narrow head slightly to the right, his fluffed hair crowning just around […]
Dim sum delights diners at Golden Port
Golden Port, as the restaurant is colloquially known, is just down the street from the newly renovated Eastman Theatre. The restaurant is constantly buzzed about by Eastman students because of its proximity to their campus, and so I figured I'd let you all in on this great find.Walking into the restaurant on a Friday night […]
Take a second to clean up
It's the little things that count. But not in the way you'd expect. This campus is full of neglect. No, I am not talking about the stray Geny Lite cans that float like tumbleweeds across the quad when it's 2 p.m. on Sunday and there are only three conscious people on campus. I'm talking about […]
We were so young…
In October, the University dedicated a statue to commemorate George Eastman, whom history remembers as a champion of higher education.

While it wasn't an alcohol to review or a viewpoint to discuss, it was important enough to merit its own column.I am a prolific drinker of high class spirits and beer. As I've said before, it's […]
When it comes to love, it?s best to reveal the truth
Should I say something? I wondered, breath paused as to not relay I was actually immediately awake, still tightly bundled in my pleasantly grey coat, trying not to stiffen, praying that hand, that gorgeous blonde-furred arm, wasn't, as I so sadly knew it was, working its assuming, stalker-like way up my still-clothed crotch. The poor, […]
