Mourning the loss of Kim Bridgford



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:
