Graham Clarke’s world The new show at the Priest ley Fine Art Gallery is “The Arched Top World of Gra ham Clarke,” an exhibition of hand-colored etchings and woodblocks capturing English rural scenes, village festivals, band practices, gardening, boating and home life.

His works are selected by Colonnades Royal Academy juries every year for exhibiting at the R.A. The Priestleys are showing the largest collection of Gra ham Clarke works in Ameri ca. They know this artist and are able to add one or two of each highly limited, signed edition of etchings. The paper is handmade by Haley Mill of Kent for the artist. Editions range from 75 to 250. The arched top of each etching and mat is Clarke’s trade mark. “A picture full of life and humor — very distinctive — is what a Graham Clarke work means,” says Dr. Ger ard Priestley.

Poetry, photography featured by Joy Hamilton “Our first literary contest has helped immeasurably to improve the quaity of this year’s submissions for Colon nades, said Dr. Andrew An- gyal, adviser of this year’s edition of the literary maga zine of Elon College. Colonnades for 1979 is now available in Alamance on the newspaper rack. This edition is impressive, featuring 27 writers and photographers. However, only six of the con tributors are Elon students, the remainder being staff members or poets from the area. Vicki Blankenship, Syl via Buckner, John Hurd, Mark Richards, Larry Shaf fer, and Mike Williams are the Elon students who con tributed to this issue of Colonnades. Amy Fickling’s first-prize in prose, “Nuthin’s Better,” was moving and dramatic in places. The story tells of a girl’s struggle to find meaning in life. “Where the Flames Dance” by sophomore Eng lish major Mike Williams is an ironic tragedy that makes good use of description. Bob Wicker of the audio visual department, and John Hurd received first and sec ond prizes respectively in pho tography. Wicker entered a picture of a “Fishing Fleet at Port,” and Hurd entered “Misty Oaks on a Foggy Morning.” Larry Shaffer en tered an eye catching self portrait. In “Today” and “Accept ance” Vicki Blankenship cap tured the emotion of deep feeling and humanity. Cathy Ray-Tubbs’ poem, “Bits of Plastic,” tells of the disgust and amazement of a freshman receiving an English composi tion marked with red ink. Kimberly Steenken’s poems expressed sentiment. Sandra C. Young’s love poem, “You Reached Out,” strikes a familiar vein of romance. E.B.C. Surratt submitted a photograph and a long mov ing poem entitled “To Tom my — An Autistic Child.” Elon student Sylvia Buckner entered an article on “Wil liam Randolph H«arst and Citizen Kane.” The format of the magazine in black and white is eye catching with a good balance of white space, typography and illustration.
