The Final Poet's Corner: In Memory of Prof. Leopold B. Felsen [Poet's Corner]

In addition to being an outstanding theoretician, researcher, and educator, Prof. Felsen loved to write poetry, as evidenced by his Poet's Corner, which he regularly published in this Magazine. It is therefore fitting that our community, and this Magazine in particular, honor Prof. Felsen and bid farewell by having this final Poet's Corner devoted to him. We offer here a collection of 13 poems, 11 of which were contributed by family members, colleagues, friends, and admirers of Prof. Felsen. We open with three poems written by family members: Prof. Felsen's son, Michael; his daughter, Judy; and one of his grandchildren, Sam. We next present a set of nine poems, with eight of them being written by colleagues and friends of Prof. Felsen, arranged in alphabetical order by the authors' last names. One of the nine poems is a poem written by Prof. Felsen to the contributor. Finally, the last poem is one written by Prof. Felsen himself, titled "As I Look Back Upon My Life." This seems like an appropriate way to end this Poet's Comner.
