This weekend I had the pleasure of attending the fall New York College English Association conference held at Daemen College in Buffalo, NY. Dr. Howard Wolf, Professor Emeritas at SUNY Buffalo and Senior Academic Visitor at Wolfson College, Cambridge, UK, spun his poetic prose on the science, including Newtonian formulations, of personal narrative and bridging the fiction-creative nonfiction gap.
His talk was infectious, with personal insights sprinkled between theoretical and science masters like Satre, Einstein and Doctorow.
It was an intellectual treat to hear the words of a man who has traveled the middle east, including Turkey and Israel, lectured in India, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, and too many other places to mention! Look for his next work: Faraway Places: Lessons in Exile. His Education of a Teacher is also quite wonderful, as are his short stories based on the semi-fictional character of Ludwig Fried.
I will be posting an abstract of his talk on the e-zine I edit, NYCEA NEWS. If you're interested, fellow Alchemists, check out the site after November 1st for more:

Until next time, fellow Alchemists, you princes of science, you queens of medicine.... :)
