Kim Bridgford died yesterday at the age of 60, of stage 4 cancer. She was diagnosed in March, and so this cancer killed her quickly... as a cancer survivor of invasive cervical cancer, I would like to know what kind of cancer this was. Not that it would do anyone any good. Cancer continues to be a cruel illness, mysterious even as we know so much more about it than we know of COVID19.
She was a wonderful , gracious person, and this is a big loss to poetry world.
Here is a poem she wrote about Emily Dickinson. Thanks to David Katz, who posted it on his blog:
