DAVID BROMIGE, 1933-2009



David Bromige died yesterday morning. His writing was one of the few great & lasting pleasures poetry has ever given me. I learned more from his work & example than from just about anyone. So much so that I dedicated my first book, How to Proceed in the Arts, to him.

A memorial Web site has been set up by his family.

Here's an old essay I wrote about his ground-breaking book, My Poetry.

Very, very sad.
