This page is dedicated to the memory of Robin Herrnfeld
I may not get to post much for a couple of weeks as I have my sister visiting me and I don’t intend spending precious time sitting at the computer.
It’s been a weird year ever since last July. Just after my 59th birthday, I heard the terrible news that my dear colleague and great friend and mentor (whom I had never met,) Robin Herrnfeld, had died in a tragic accident. She was our Slush Editor at Every Day Poets and Group Host of Flash Poetry at Writewords. Little did I think then, that by this anniversary I would no longer be editor of that magazine and so my intention to mark the anniversary there would not be feasible. But instead I shall do so here. Fewer people who valued her work, as I did, will see it but if you are one of those, please share to celebrate her life and her work.
Ah, Oonah, thank you for posting this in memory of Robin. It was terrible when we all learned of her death and she is missed. She was an excellent poet and editor.
