Robert Anthony Pawlikowski (1939-1975) was an American poet and artist residing in upstate New York with his wife and daughters at the time of his death. He left behind an amazing legacy of over 300 poems (many unpublished) and other writings.
My mother, Mary Ann Pawlikowski (1929-2018), had catalogued and organized Dad’s writings several times after his passing, but she was never up for the daunting and emotional task of publishing.
As the heirs to my parents’ estate, my sisters and I have decided to share and publish our father’s work. All proceeds will help to create and support the Robert and Mary Ann Pawlikowski Poetry Foundation, a soon-to-be nonprofit organization providing scholarships for study of the creative arts.
