Abstract

“Poetry is the food of the spirit, and spirit is the instigator of all revolutions, wether political or personal, wether national, worldwide, or within the life of a single quiet human being”. These words are attributed to Ruth Walgreen Stephan (1910–1974) who first visited Arizona in the 1930’s. Ruth Stephan was a distinguished novelist and poet who donated a collection of several hundred books, and a cottage, to the University of Arizona campus in 1960. This modest beginning belied the vision of Mrs Stephan, who continued to generously contribute to building a distinguished collection of poetry that would, in time, gain both national and international significance.
