In order not to turn a review into something which might ruin an otherwise very enjoyable film, It must be said that the situation ls complicated by several very real and dangerous factors which might have been scoffed ai had not tbe Apollo XIII flight brought those incidents Into the Ufe ot everyone. The twists and turns by which the Ufe and death of three astronauts hang on are weU handled and the comments concerning man and his conquest of space are definitely from the pen of a writer who had considered all of the sides of the problem before closing out his story. This ls particularly true ln Ught of the fact that this film had been released weU before the ApoUo XIII lifted off. The film ls not the kind which but for contemporary cinema ai dlences, it has a lot to say ai say It. Recommended. By Gene Bluesteln Whatever it ls elsewhere, the generation gap has no meaning ln the creative writing program of Fresno State College's EngUsh Department. The proof ls ln a superb new collection of poetry, "Down at the Santa Fe Depot: 20 Kresno Poets", published by Glltgla Press and edited by David Kherdian and James Baloian, both of whom are represented ln the volume. Centered around faculty poets Philip Levine. Peter Everwlne, Robert Mezey, and Charles Hanzlicek, ls a group of poets (most of them students) who have breathed the valley's atmosphere Into a gathering of voices and spirits almost unique ln the history of CaUfornla. The last stab occasion was the howerlng ™f San Francisco poets, the "beats,* who left us an Indelible Impression of where we are and where we may be going. Levine, Ever- weU estabUshed as Important figures on the contemporary poetry scene, each with volumes of poetry already published or soon to appear. Many ot the younger poets have also had their work pubUshed, some in prirr?-winning efforts. What ls more Impressive Is the Independence they show ln their attempts to frame a style that speaks directly for themselves. There ls a fair amount of homage here as the younger writers acknowledge the Impact of their teachers: "Phil Levine got me Interested In writing*; "1 began taking writing classes, first from peter Everwlne and then from Phil Levine*; *I sort of fell into the writing program at Fresno State College, and, with the Invaluable help and guidance of a couple of different people, I've been writing ever since.* But on the whole It ls a meeting of peers, with the Unas of respect and affection flowing both ways. The Fresno area ls ln this collection ln places as well as people. Baloian writes about a visit to Mezey ln the foothills: "up past/the first fields/of dead grass/the slow rise of hills, opening green . . ."; Bruce Boston writes for Levine: "the mountains are ragged/the mountains do not follow one another/beneath the pale sky/heUcopters dare canyons/Into war . . .*; Lawson Inada provides a series of "West Side Songs*: "Something holds It ln place./Something keeps -tt from explodlng./Other- wlse, It would be all wars rolled/ Into one-Mexicans punctured on chopsticks,/Blacks gagglne/on crucifixes, curses/croaking ln broken/English ..."; Levine contributes "Renaming the Kings*: ■High In Its banks, slashed with silver./riding the Jagged blade of heaven/down to earth, the river shouts Its name";. Luis Omar Salinas speaks for Mexican Americans: "I am Omar/the crazy gypsy A waltz through avenues of roses/to the song of Marlachis.* Then there are some fine additions to the Academy Cemetery serles-the cemetery seems to draw Fresno poets the way Lake Geneva magnetized nineteenth century Europeans.
