Short stories, essays, reviews, and titled poetry
Scope and Contents
Box 7 contains formal prose works written by Mr. Hess, as well as his individual poems with titles. Although it seems likely that he wrote more than one short story in his life, only “Nunc Dimittis Servum Tuum” was found among his papers.
His essays demonstrate the wide range of his interests and knowledge, as do his previews and reviews of music, theater, and art events.
Three essays among his papers were not written by him, but were retained to demonstrate his many interests. Between 1978 and 2006 Mr. Hess served as art and drama critic for newspapers in three states: Hawaii, Washington, and Iowa. He published well over 350 previews and reviews in his lifetime, and wrote many more for which published versions may exist but could not be found among his papers.
