A Student’s Memories of Richard Eberhart, by David Graham

After hearing the recent news of Richart Eberhart’s death at age 101, David Graham contributed a brief memoir to the NewPoetry list & very kindly gave permission for us to publish it. He has also granted us two of his own poems:

• “Old Poet Enduring Praise” (written for Eberhart during his lifetime)
• “The Writing Life”
