Friends of the Tufts Libraries

Before the Tufts Poetry Walk, members of the Holmes family met in Digital Collections and Archives to review early selections from the John Holmes archives.

In the third year in a row, the Tufts Poetry Walk was rained out and poems had to be read inside.

John Holmes widow, Doris Eyges, read The Certainty and then told a story about the poem. It was commissioned by the Steuben Glass Company, which also commissioned a glass piece in a modern style, which was displayed in its showroom on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
