Remembering Mary Pat True

November 28, 2020 by Robert Gill

It is with sadness that we must note the passing of Mary Pat True on Thanksgiving morning in Minneapolis. She was with her daughter.   Mary Pat was a long-time supporter of the WCPA, the artful hostess at 4 Westland Street for poets from around the world, and spouse of Mike True (the initial Stanley Kunitz Medal winner).   Mary Pat was a member of the critically acclaimed Denise Levertov workshop at Assumption College.   Her series of art photography featuring Worcester doorways showed her willingness to transcend borders and differences in the community.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Mary Pat and Mike’s children and grandchildren.
