In his last years, my father wrote often about poems and literature. He would transcribe some of his favorites, and add in some commentary or other witticisms. I have shared a few that I felt carried some of this selections and commentary. Dickinson. Yeats, Du Maurier, Roethke, Burns, Merrill, Henley, Blake, Eliot, PK Page, Keats, Tennyson were just a few. Stephen was always a steadfast correspondent, with many friends and family, and he kept in touch with many far-flung people through the pen. The written word was important to him, as was engaging in active thought and dialectic.
