UPDATE: Charles Bernstein's blog entry contains a complete Guest bibliography. (Scroll down; he doesn't have anchors or permalinks.) No obit yet, that I can find. Ron has posted a nice piece about her today, as have several other folks. I love all the photographs, the one Ron & Kasey used, of her on a train, and the one at Tom Orange's place particularly. Beautiful woman.
Never "negotiate" with a reader by projecting the reader's aims into the poem, such as a "desirable subject."
Poet and reader perform together on a high wire strung over a platform between their separated selves.
Tension between the poem and the poet creates an empathy / this tension relies on and alters the plasticity of poetic language.
A poem stretches when Pressure on a word causes the poem to stretch. Go to the poem, observe, see if the word is consistent with the poem--never desert meaning for a word.
