Poet Jason Shinder Dies (1955-2008)

"...it sounded like hope, stupid hope."
~from "Living"

Oh.  I'm so sad.  I just read at Anglofille that poet Jason Shinder died on Friday, 25 April 2008.  He was a wonderful poet and contributed so much to the world of poetry through the YMCA National Writer's Voice project.  He was a wonderful and giving teacher.
