Dreams and Other Poems to Margaret Nemerov, the widow of Howard Nemerov, this time Steinhardt dedicated the Key West book to poet laureate Richard Wilbur, who used to winter in Key West. Steinhardt's fourth book was Letters to Ryan. This book departed from his usual fare by being patently autobiographical, detailing the experience of being a co-dependent with a lover on cocaine. Completely in verse diary form, the book is strongly revealing and descriptive. The poems detail the freshness of a new relationship, romance; then the succeeding adverse effects of drug addiction. Gary Hirshberg, L.C.S.W., in his introduction to the book, said "To describe Letters to Ryan as a parable on co-dependency would certainly be accurate." He said, "in reading such raw and revealing lines as Steinhardt has written we are able to see a reflection of ourselves, we are able to step back and see ourselves as the boys we are—boys of such deep need: Was he ever mine? Was he ever his himself To give for me? (from "Discharged") Hirshberg said the book "lays-bare our collective soul, it chronicles the dysfunction of our relationships, the hollowness of our attempts at love, the hopelessness of our ability to connect." Jane L. Anton, Ph.D. contributed an Afterword to the book. Artist George Towne contributed the cover art, originally entitled "Lucio on Tony's Bed." Steinhardt's fifth book, Papa's Big Fish: Stories of Youthful Adventure at the Hemingway's in Key West, was his first book which was solely fiction. The book, categorized as historical fiction, has 15 chapters, each chapter being a separate adventure from the viewpoint of eight-year-old protagonist Gig Hemingway, one of Ernest Hemingway's children. The book details Steinhardt's considerable scholarship in Hemingway biography, offering a keen, light-hearted look at the Hemingway home in Key West during the 1930s. The book also contains a substantial appendix, listing the work Ernest Hemingway wrote while living in Key West from 1928 to 1939. The book serves a juvenile audience, while also maintaining an adult readership for the Hemingway trivia presented. Steinhardt's sixth book, Sleeping with Rilke: Poems & Prayers, is a return to the poet's usual fare of Imagist poetry. The book is divided into three sections. The first section deals with everyday activities ("At the Launderette") and acquaintances ("Perennial"), and the second part deals with relationships, presumably the author's. The last section is notable in that it is similar to the
