Description
Regarding the Ivory Tower, the Reverend says, "Everyone knows that from one generation to the next is like a plowed field-everything gets turned over and you gotta start all over again. And that tells me something about the need for edumacation... and I'm right proud to be a part of this new crop, although we ain't planting corn or beans, exactly. We're planting souls."
Join in the continuing romp as The Reverend Sweetie Bird Charles encounters the administration of the Ivory Tower-to be or not to be-while her interior voices, Agnes and Mama, have their own trials. Agnes learns perspective in a live model drawing class, which leads to painting scenery for a community play, and a brush with Destiny. Mama gets a chicken house in a barn; however, she insists on no goats. The Reverend's travails include Peterbilt trucks, a flood, a giant hole, a doomed Performing Arts Center, Strawberry Fields Forever, and, of course, the Chancellor.
