John Updike is one of the poets to be honored on the first Dead Poets Remembrance Day celebration in Massachusetts. One or more of Mr. Updike's children will join us at the Beverly location, at 8:30 that morning, to hear about the longtime North Shore resident's life and poetry.
Just came across this excerpt from a eulogy which Updike's son, David, gave for his Dad in March, 2009. Come to Beverly and join us! We'll be reading from the poetry of Lucy Larcom, Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath and Elizabeth Bishop.
