In 1970, with America in the midst of terrible political turmoil--and Edward Field himself going through a difficult period in his personal life--the poet traveled to Afghanistan, which, as he has said, "was the furthest place I could imagine on earth to escape to."  "Kabuli Days" chronicles Field's experiences--the beautiful and the tragic, the poignant and the devastating in this faraway country.

<p>"In my 23 years of teaching college students, LeeAnne McIlroy Langtons A Degree of Commitment: A Freshmans Guide to College Success is the most invaluable, no-nonsense guide for students who are eager to de-mystify the university that I have come across.
