Just got this sad news from the poetics group list at UB. I’d been following Reginald’s blog and its excruciatingly honest accounts of his illness for some time, ever since coming across an interesting article about him in Poets and Writers. Apparently, he applied for the job here at UB. Didn’t get it, but it would have been interesting to meet and possibly work with him if he had.
Here’s a tribute at the Poetry Foundation.
