BOOKS

Please read descriptions of books and decide which you need to buy. Much of the early work of both authors is available on-line; however, print-outs of longer works are hard to handle and keep track of.

Books are available at the Clemson Newsstand. Support your local, independent booksellers, and buy at the Newsstand, if possible. You can get cheap copies of Eliot’s juvenelia, Woolf's essays, and various biographical and critical studies at the Newsstand as well. Fara at the Newsstand will also order any books you need; they offer a 15% discount on all hardbacks. McClure's, a new bookstore behind Wachovia where Hubbard/Young used to be, specializes in remaindered and second-hand books. I have also sent them our booklist and syllabus; they are looking for appropriate books as well.

All books will be on reserve at the library, if possibile

SUPPLIES
Because this course concetrates so much on aspects of the visual --mapping, painting , printing etc. -- I am going to ask you to keep a visual journal or scrapbook where you collage your responses to the course, including excerpts from your and other students' list-serve entries, quotations form readings, and visual images scanned from resources or downloaded off the web. Therefore there are a few art supllies you'll need (You can do this very cheaply if you want; or you can go to Michaels and lose your head and our wallet)


REQURIED Some kind of notebook or journal or scrapbook or book to alter. UHU or other kind of glue stick to adhere things into book Scissors RECOMMENDED Different colored pens watercolors colored papers
