RIP Galway Kinnell
One of our greatest poets has died at 87.
I had the privilege of seeing Kinnell read while I was at Iowa State in the late ’80s. He did some new things – things he’d been working on during the flight out, in fact – but this was the high point of the evening.
Thank you, Galway. Sleep well.

Thank you to Doc at Scholars and Rogues. This is one of my favorites of Kinnell’s. RIP to a great poet and performance artist. We will miss the mild, mesmerizing, accented repetition of magic words.
