Hayden Carruth, Poet and Critic, Dies at 87

Hayden Carruth was one of those guys who helped me come to grips with life. He through crazed insecurities examined and old man poetry and a life spent battering typewriter brought me to some sort of equilibrium where it was possible to just be.

In some corner of my mind I dreamed of meeting this old coot. I guess in some corner of my mind I did. When I open one of Carruth's books of essays or poetry I can get lost in some thought drop thread and come out of the experience soothed.

My poetry heroes are dead. Long live their words.
