Mark Strand Dies

November 29th, 2014

It is a puzzle, he is one of the people I thought would never die. His 2000-ish library of congress reading began with “So, I don’t have my books to read from as I figured the library would have them for me” (unfolds paper from his pocket as interns scramble to find his books) “but I wrote these poems on the plane.” He is a great one.
