Moments of Sadness

It is with great sadness that I share the news of the death of Herbert Scott, a great poet and founder of New Issues Poetry & Prose Press at WMU. Myself a fiction writer, I never had the opportunity to take a class with Herb, but I was able to get to know him in limited meetings. I was also privileged to see him give a reading at the Prague Summer Program this past summer from his newest book, Sleeping Woman. I can't express enough how much respect and admiration I had for this man, and how much he will be missed by those who knew him.
