KU

 I went down one of those rabbit holes. I was trying to remember Guillén or Salinas being against intentionality at an early stage of their careers, like Anglo modernists Eliot or Woolf. So I looked up Salinas and remembered his affair with Katherine, who inspired La voz a ti debida. And then I discovered that she had studied at KU, where I have made most of my career. Here is her PhD dissertation:

    I think it's her B.A. thesis. Supposedly her PhD is from Berkeley. I just realized the time she spent in Madrid was during the Republic. What an interesting person.

    P.S. And man, she was very ethereal and he was very smitten. I learned about this in school of course, but was not as impressed with the whole thing as today

    Me neither. I 've been trying to find her PhD thesis, but UCB doesn't allow outsiders to look at catalog.
