R.I.P. Robert Kroetsch. What a sad end to a great life! He will be missed.

I wish there was more video footage of Kroetsch - reading - he was a wonderful reader of his work. It seems there is very little made it to the WEB of this amazing writer, poet, teacher & man. I started writing poetry in a class of his at University of Calgary - he imbued writing with mystery, intrigue, as thought-provoking, & something any of us could participate in. I would love to see videos of him. It seems he has disappeared into the musty corridors of literature past.
