Welcome to "It's All Academic," a website initially supporting the book pictured to the right. Since then, it has moved past observations about higher education, often in the form of poetry. Inspiration often has come in the form of a series, which are listed as part of the series' specific archives. The menu to the left attempts to categorize all of the archived materials.
