Mark Strand, Poet Laureate and Director’s Guest at Civitella, was a frequent visitor and loyal friend to our Foundation. Today, on the four-year anniversary of his death, we remember all that he was and all that he gave to those around him. His wit and verse live on not only in his books and in our fond memories, but also in our Civitella library.
As many of you know, we inherited Mark’s personal library upon his death. This generous gift of approximately 5,000 volumes spans several languages, poetry, translations, literary criticism, philosophy, the Classics, and theory.
Â
We are so grateful to have Mark’s library and the many memories of his time at Civitella.
