Chilean poet Gonzalo Rojas has penned his last ode
This is true my form is something odd,
But blaming me is blaming God;
Could I create myself anew
I would not fail in pleasing you.

The American poet Rae Armantrout has written a very lengthy account of her battle with a form of adrenal cancer.
What are heavy? Sea-sand and sorrow;
What are brief? Today and tomorrow;
What are frail? Spring blossoms and youth;
What are deep? The ocean and truth.

Revered American poet Mary Oliver has been "diagnosed with a very serious illness" :sicktherm:
What are heavy? Sea-sand and sorrow;
What are brief? Today and tomorrow;
What are frail? Spring blossoms and youth;
What are deep? The ocean and truth.

Feminist poet Adrienne Rich has died aged 82.

Most annoying for me as that means my sister has a unique hit on the DDP :rant:

Poetry, poets, dead ones, dying ones, deathly ones. Spy corner has demonstrated that there is more than a passing interest among deathlisters in poetry and poets as TF suggested some time ago.

Stanley Kunitz is one among many. Who will be next? Louis Simpson? Gunter Grass, the SS poet? Lawrence Ferlinghetti?

A thread for favourite poems, discourse on all things poetic and, of course, poets who are potential deathlist material. Ernesto Cardenal, Henri Chopin, Robert Creeley, Hans Enzensberger, Tuli Kupferberg, Noel Edmonds: names you are not likely to find in the Big Brother House.

Dedicated to Emily Dickinson, the matriarch of deathly verse.

If you wait long enough it will happen after six years Louis Simpson has died aged 89. He won the 1964 Pulitzer Prize.
