Ralph J. Mills Jr.
Knocked into deep sadness at the news of Ralph Mills’ death yesterday. A fine poet, a sharp and intelligent essayist and critic, an admired and beloved teacher – and a courageous man. My sympathy to Helen and all their family. I remember our every meeting, conversation and correspondence with pleasure. This is one poem from his Selected, floating over the river here at dawn this morning.
