William Jay Smith
Remembering William Jay Smith ( 1918-2015)
Happy New Year, everyone — meaning, really, that we hope 2016 will be a better year on many fronts than 2015 was. On the poetry front, we lost another member of the greatest generation. William Jay Smith died last August in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, at the age of 97, after having lived for many years in Cummington, Massachusetts, near his good friend, Richard Wilbur. You may have read Smith’s obituary in the New York Times and elsewhere, but if you are interested in knowing more about his life, you may also want to read his two memoirs, Army Brat (Persea Books, 1982) and Dancing in the Garden: A Bittersweet Love Affair with France (Bay Oak Publishers, Ltd., 2008).
Shortly after the publication of his new memoir, we featured him on these pages. It was for November 2008, during our own first year. We remember him now with a renewed sense of loss and a reprise of that post.

Happy New Year!!!
Spring Meeting 2016
We invite participants in the Spring Meeting to join us in creating, however briefly, a community coming together to learn from each other and to contribute to an enlivening experience as we explore together the many ways that psychoanalytic thought and practice offers the opportunity for renewal and connection. We have reorganized the traditional format so that we start each day with a coffee hour that will help us to better come together as a community. Our keynote speakers will begin our day from Friday to Sunday, allowing time for discussion and meeting with old and new friends. We plan to have several breaks throughout the day to allow time for lunch, browsing booksellers, an educational fair, yoga and just “hanging out.” In addition to our usual late afternoon receptions, we will have a Continue reading Division 39 January 2016 Newsletter
