Joe Gouveia, 1964-2014

R.I.P. Joe

I was hoping Joe's poem "Last Rites" was going to be the furthest from a swan song for him and that I would be watching Joe read this May from his new book Saudades.  He fought cancer for so long and deserved every victory he ever received.  Thank you for everything you did for poetry, sir.

I will be posting information on how to order Joe's book so the money can go to help Joe's widow.  My thoughts go out to her and their families.  I will likely make another donation to Joe's recovery fund as well.  I encourage you to do the same.
