When a Poet Dies When a poet dies nothing happens. A lesser poet breakfasting on coffee and a cherry strudel picks up a newspaper, turns pages to pass time. After breakfast she will sit down to write. Thus begins the one-poem book "When a Poet Dies." This is a tribute to the poet William Stafford (Jan 1914--Aug 1993), but it’s also just a darn good story about poets and how they affect the world. #poetry #RedDragonflyPress #MNastodon

Some scenes from today, 1: I attended the letterpress sale and got some artisan papers for a nature center that can use them for programs. Several letterpress folks were there picking up heavy equipment. (Scott even designed his own fonts and poured molten lead into molds to create them.) #poetry #poets #RedDragonfly #RedDragonflyPress #letterpress #MNastodon #Minnesota #arts #LetterpressPublishing
