Items related to The Collected Poems of Charles Penrose Patton 1962...
Charles Penrose Patton, who died April 29, 1992, at age 67, was Professor Emeritus of English at Millersville University where he had taught for 25 years. I had the honored pleasure of not only being his student at Millersville 1968-1970, but also his friend for years after until his death. He was the catalyst for my own writing career and was an inspirational teacher who made literature come alive and who obviously loved teaching, good writing and that occasional student who showed promise. In addition to teaching and composing his own poetry, Professor Patton was involved in numerous pursuits to preserve the environment, holding memberships in the Environmental Defense Fund, World Wildlife Association and the Sierra Club. He also supported the arts as a member of the Demuth Foundation, local theatre and was literary advisor of the George Street Carnival, Millersville University's literary magazine and was a member of several literary and poetry associations. Over the years, Professor Patton gave me, and another former student, the poems included in this volume. Some have previously appeared in the George Street Carnival, and in The Gray Day and Other Poems.
