A sunny afternoon outside celebrating SPD's move to San Pablo Avenue. From left to right: Eileen Corder, Columbine Robinson, Nick Robinson, Lyn Hejinian snapshotting the photographer, Simone Fattal, and a suit. In the background is a barsign for The Bird, now known as The Albatross.
And here's Kit Robinson on the same occasion dashingly cutting the ribbon with gardening shears.
Season's Greetings from 1979! From left to right: David Bullen, Chuck Miller, Jeannetta Jones Miller, Jean Day with Casey Miller, and Nick Robinson. This photo was probably taken outside SPD's storefront on Shattuck, next to Serendipity Books.

 Jennifer Moxley's Clampdown captures a time of political despair and self-doubt. Our "so-called common ground" erodes where liberal thought, implicated in the systems it critiques, finds no traction and becomes the site of new divisions. Against the reality of distant wars, everyday pleasures—even love itself—become frayed by anxiety and shame. Likewise, the past and the future prove unstable, both close to oblivion in a "maddeningly quiescent landscape" of winter. Throughout Clampdown, Moxley responds to the evanescence of both life and art with all her poetic resources, at times declamatory and incisive, at others "freely espousing" and conversational. |
