Why the honoree chose the book
Dr. Vendler's book was the catalyst for my dissertation on Yeats, "Yeats and Ireland: The Interaction of Genius and Genius Loci," at Boston University and charted my course and advanced my career as a teacher and scholar at the University of Dayton. Now a retired professor emerita at Harvard, Dr. Vendler has inspired me every step of the way to my own retirement in 2022, and I thank her not only for her guidance and counsel, but for the book that started my journey in 1966 on "the road not taken."
