Ruth Lilly as She Should be Remembered
Poetry’s Christian Wiman comments on the passing of Ruth Lilly, others’ responses to her life (“Willy Nilly Lilly” NYT and Slate), and his own, more gracious and informed reflection. Should you have any misgivings at all, or just an empty space of knowledge, in regards to the life and legacy of Ruth Lilly, you owe it to yourself to read this one-page memorial.
