I don't know...perhaps you all do. I wonder...was that huge building, the heavy-handedness in responding to upstart poets, what Lily had in mind when she endowed it?
Did Ruth intend for a concrete monument to be built for established poets only..or to foster new poets, give grants, help poets old and young. Or all of the above? I ask because I don't know what her intentions were. Whatever, it was better than most big drug money is spent these days, I guess.
