What I Just Posted on the Stone Soup Poetry Facebook Page

Edit: And of course the news was confirmed. I just couldn't find the original posts in a search, but others came across them and shared them. Facebook is broken, and I'm enraged.

Earlier this morning, I made an announcement regarding the passing of a poet. This was what I thought was based on multiple Facebook posts last night.

The posts I thought I had for reference no longer exist, if they ever did. I'm now at the point where I think I had some kind of episode, as I thought I was posting after others had hours prior.

In short, the news appears to be false and nonexistent.

I have deleted the original post and tagged everyone who responded to it that I could in the hopes of correcting this awful error. I feel this is too late as I have surely caused distress to the poet's friends and likely their family.

I have made a terrible error, and I apologize.
