Interview with Yale University Radio

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Brainard Carey for Yale University Radio on my poetry and art. Click the link to listen to the full interview and see some of my paintings. (TW talk of suicide, domestic violence, and war.)

Marvin Bell, 1937-2020

I write this in fits and starts, just adding things about Marvin as they come to mind, moving up and down the page. It’s strange to look at websites make the necessary update, the cementation that he is, in fact, gone. It’s a strange addition to the grieving process. A friend of mine who was in my first workshop with Marvin had said upon hearing the news of his passing, “I thought he’d live to 101.” I thought so too.
