Details

Ruth Witt-Diamant, a professor at San Francisco State University from 1931, founded and was the first director of the SFSU Poetry Center in 1954. In her youth, she traveled and taught English poetry in Japan, becoming good friends with the Tokugawa family. She hosted many famous poets in her guest room when she owned the house at 1520 Willard Street. Among the writers who slept here were Anaïs Nin, W. H. Auden, Elizabeth Bishop, James Broughton, Robert Lowell, Stephen Spender and Theodore Roethke. Dylan Thomas also was a frequent guest; and had even written a poem about the seemingly magical and endless supply of beer from her refrigerator.
