The great American poet Galway Kinnell has died of leukemia at the age of 87. I remember a time when he, W.S. Merwin, and W.D. Snodgrass were the bright stars on the poetic horizon. I can still remember my introduction to wondrous horrors of "The Bear" and "The Porcupine," and the first time I opened "The Book of Nightmares." Fittingly, it is a cold and dreary day.
