It's been intermittent for a few hundred years.
Who were crazier, the Quakers who insisted on
coming to church naked, or the Puritans who hung them?
An aside: there are maybe six weeks a year when
nakedness is conceivable in New England--between
blackflies and mosquitoes in Spring and mosquitoes and frostbite in the Fall.
Best,
Mark

"Not since the 1982 publication of Paul Auster's
Random House Book of Twentieth Century French
Poetry has a bilingual anthology so effectively
broadened the sense of poetic terrain outside the
United States and also created a superb
collection of foreign poems in English. There is
nothing else like it." John Palattella in The
Nation
