Come Again
May I experience
The beauty of you again woman,
To put my weary soul to rest.
To have again
The soft serenity of your warm
And tender body.
Let us share the satisfaction
Of mutual desires,
And wrap our souls
One around the other,
Merging our flesh,
Finding happiness under
Standing love.
Come again
To me woman
Bring me to life,
Life to me!

Away From Home
By Ellen Edwards
Away from home,
Discovering the value of the things I once took for granted.
Away from home,
Realizing the seed of maturity must be planted.
Away from home,
Yearning for the love at home I knew was always there.
Away from home,
Searching for a substitute and for someone who cares.
Away from home,
Making decisions about where I will go.
Away from home,
Wondering if I’ll ever Know.

Feeling a surge of unknown hatred,
I reach out to grasp my enemy.
But the only thing at the end of my grasp
Is a filter cigarette. GRASP!

Man, a marvelous creation.
Can computerize, mechanize, utilize
The wonders of the universe.

Flew to the moon, .
Constructed an atomic bomb,
Commonized an entire continent.
The marvelous, ingenious, mastermind
Of creation has but one incapacity:
Cannot find peace,
Cannot trust his brother,
— Cannot love one another!

From the Preface of the
Spelman Art Collections
Program
With the inauguration of
Donald M. Stewart, Spelman
college moves into a new era
and its rich cultural tradition
should expand into a new
dimension.
The heritage of Spelman
College and the Atlanta
University Center form one of
the strongest tentacles of those
“roots” which sustain the
cultural foundation of black
America. How wonderful to
have had leaders dedicated
toward the fostering of aes
thetic awareness as well as
intellectual and scientific
proficiency!
For here was formed an
oasis within a vast wasteland
of suppression, rejection, and
frustration. The black artist,
having no place to go, looked to
the Atlanta University schools
for the ultimate in inspired
teaching in all the arts, and the
black Atlanta community
found here its only cultural
contacts the drama, music,
dance and the visual arts.
W ,E .B . Dubois, Alaine
Locke and James Porter
helped to propel black thought
toward creative expression
grounded in a true knowledge
of the wealth of its African
heritage. So, in the early 80s
when Florence Read of
Spelman College and John
Hope of Morehouse College
and Atlanta University
brought Hale Woodruff,
painter, and Elizabeth
Prophet, sculptor, to the
Center, there was initiated a
strong impetus for the. foster
ing of the visual arts. And
when Erick Berry in 1928
exhibited works at Spelman,
four of her watercolors became
the beginning of a Spelman
Art Collection.
The sincere dedication of
President Albert Manley
toward the enhancement of the
visual arts at Spelman led to
expanded facilities, an on-go
ing “artist in residence" and
exhibition program, and
augmentation of the campus
art collection.
Let the future find new
challenges; new excitement, as
the Fine Arts of Spelman
College continue to inspire
students and to enhance the
quality of life in the Atlanta
community. The expressed
commitment of Donald
Stewart toward the con
tinuation of Spelman's
leadership in the visual arts
promises a bright future.
