Historical Note

Note by Molly Peacock, written in 2022: "Flowers in Navy Blue background dress worn as Assistant Director of Academic Advising ca. 1973 when I reported to the Registrar, SUNY Binghamton, and worked in the administration building on campus as I was slowly deciding to become a serious poet. See Paradise, Piece by Piece. This dress seemed poetic to me."
