Apparently he died on the 5th.

Yeah. They announced it in the news here, since he's from Chicago. I liked his books. RIP dude.

Also: (and as great a loss to American letters, as far as I'm concenred) Robert Creeley died recently. I saw him read when I was at Iowa. He was entertaining without being too scholarly, but also sharp. And not too much of a damn beatnik!
