I suppose I should have publicized these a bit earlier, but I don't always have it completely together lately. In any case, there have been a number of publications of Reginald's poetry and essays since his death last fall.
Five of Reginald's poems are anthologized in American Hybrid: A Norton Anthology of New Poetry, edited by Cole Swensen and David St. John. The poems included are: "Direction of Fall," "A Parking Lot Just Outside the Ruins of Babylon," "The Tendency of Dropped Objects to Fall," "Turandot," and "You Also, Nightingale."
"My Mother Dated Otis Redding" was published in Volume 7/2008 of Margie: The American Journal of Poetry.
"The Invisible Diva," an essay on Kate Bush, was included in the essay collection My Diva: 65 Gay Men on the Women who Inspire Them, edited by Michael Montlack.
Several biographical essays about gay poets have been published in LGBTQ America Today: An Encyclopedia. Reginald's essay entries include those on Donald Britton, Hart Crane, Tim Dlugos, Timothy Liu, Carl Phillips, D. A. Powell, Brian Teare, and Mark Wunderlich.
Thank you, Robert.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI was wondering why I could find not email for Reginald, and I found out by reading your blog on his last poem from his death bed.
I am working on a book and film about the graves of American poets -- see www.deadpoes.org -- and I was hoping you could tell me where Reginald is buried (or where ashes may have been scattered).
Dear Mr. Philen,
ReplyDeleteI am a poet, and a blogger as well. Though I did not have the pleasure of ever meeting Reginald Shepherd, we had friends and colleagues in common, and I certainly admired the work from afar.
I am not sure if you are monitoring these comments anymore, but if so: I am writing an article for Poets & Writers magazine on how blogging has impacted individual writers and the writing community. I would like to make a brief mention of this blog and of Mr. Sheperd's work.
It would be wonderful if I could have a brief quote from you explaining the decision to keep the blog up, and perhaps sharing any posthumous intent for the blog that Reginald might have mentioned before his far-too-soon passing. I don't mean to pry, if this is too personal a topic. But I think it would be of interest to others, and anything that directs additional readers toward his words seems like a good thing.
Please contact me at sandrabeasley@earthlink.net at your earliest convenience if you would be willing to speak to this. My deep thanks and condolences for your loss.
Best wishes,
Sandra Beasley
