The Sleep of Grass: A Tribute in Poetry to William Stafford
Friends of William Stafford designed this site in honor of Stafford's eightieth birthday. Since Stafford's death, the site has become an "oasis on the Internet," a place where people can remember Stafford's work through words and pictures. Follow links to the tribute poems, each featuring an appropriate photograph. Also look for the William link, which leads to a biography of the poet. After browsing the site, write your own tribute poem in reaction to "Traveling Through the Dark."
