...KISS: A JAMBALAYA by John Frederick Nims; Houghton Mifflin; 68 pages; $11.95 (hardback), $6.95 (paper). Since 1978 John Frederick Nims has been the editor of Poetry, the venerable Chicago-based monthly that helped launch the careers of T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens and William Carlos Williams. Besides shouldering this tradition and the morose routine of rejecting manuscripts, Nims, 68, has continued to teach, lecture, translate poems from a variety of tongues and edit anthologies.

...Section Three (whatever that is, it must be a riot, and that killer of a punch line. "Even Archie Cox has his off days.") That's Archie Cox--the professor. A traditional crowd favorite is the parading of a few real-life Law School characters across the Pound Hall stage. This year it's Professor David Westall, as a dope-dealing buffoon in Bermuda shorts and sombrero and Dean of Students May Upton, who plays herself and saves Camp So-Sue-Me from villainy. They're both as stiff as boards but incite near pandemonium merely by showing that they...
...Harvard Band Drinking Contest," Johnson laughs proudly. "There is this annual party after the Brown game where all the freshmen drink 'Brown Punch' which is made of bourbon and apple cider. I must've had about 20 cuts of that stuff--I beat out some 200-pound hick from Missouri, too," she adds...
