A beloved millennial friend called me last night to offer condolences—called me ON THE PHONE—and I have rarely felt so moved by another's sacrifice.

Feels...odd to be promoting this right now but the weird reality is that my Dad wanted me to archive his manuscripts/publicatiomns online, and I was counting on archive.org in its function as a people's library. It's under threat. battleforlibraries.com

You all did a GREAT job on this. Thank you for your condolences and kindnesses, and for the tons of excellent poems from which to choose. My father loved a little attention and he also loved poetry, and he would have loved that his passing sparked this thread. x.com/...

🚨POETRY SIREN🚨. My father Frank Ford passed away this moning—age 90, at peace, with family near. He wanted “a poem” read at his memorial service. BUT—he was an English prof, an experimental poet (think modernists/imagists), and unsentimental. IDEAS?
