The passing of a remarkable man. Reginald Shepherd



When I read the blog below, I'm struck repeatedly with the combination of talent, generosity, and strength of spirit manifested in Reginald Shepherd. He discusses the illness that led to his recent death and , at the same time, discusses poetry and lauds other poets. It's well worth your time to read his words at his Reginald Shepherd Blog.

(His blog was duplicated by The Poetry Foundation, but thanks to the comment below telling me that the link wasn't working, I'm linking directed here. I can's find the problem in the other link, though the blog still exists on that site, too.)

Hello your link does not seem to work but he does look a very strong man.

Thanks for letting me know. I switched the link directly to his own blog, replicated at The Poetry Foundation.
