Poetic Obituaries: In her late 80s, [Dorothea] Tanning found

a new outlet in poetry. She jokingly referred to herself as "the oldest living emerging poet."

By 90, she had published poems in the Paris Review and won a place in "Best American Poems of 2000." She later wrote two well-reviewed volumes of poetry, "A Table of Content" (2004) and "Coming to That," which the New Yorker called one of the best books of 2011.

In 1994, Tanning created and endowed the Wallace Stevens Award, which each year grants $100,000 to an American poet.
