It is astonishing that Kramer is the first to tackle this sadly overlooked subject. &quot;I uncovered so many ideas, and art, and movements that came out of Greenwich Village which continue to reverberate,&quot; she says. &quot;I was further amazed to learn that no one had made a documentary of the history of Greenwich Village.&quot;</description>            <author>Karen Kramer Mines; Creative Gems by Nancy L.
