Marthe Reed : d. April 10, 2018

American poet, editor, publisher and above/ground press author Marthe Reed died earlier today, after suffering a stroke yesterday. I'm rather stunned by it, as so many are (and thank you to Laura Mullen, who gave me a head's up). Condolences to Michael, and their two children. Here's a photo of Marthe with intern Rose, during our family visit to their house in Syracuse, just over a year ago. I'll write up a proper obit soon, on my own blog. But for now, there is this.

some author activity: mclennan, Earl + Reed,

rob mclennan responds to Sachiko Murakami's questions as part of her "The Hardest Thing About Being A Writer" series; Amanda Earl is featured over at Drunken Boat, and has a new visual poem up at h&; and Marthe Reed interviews Laura Mullen over at Jacket2.
