It was stunned to hear about her death. I spent weeks denying suicide. I will never forget that night, or the tears her poetry brought out of me. Forever changed by her. It's a tragedy that her voice is gone. Thankfully, she wrote so she is immortal.Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06927921274359506766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-746549356331646438.post-19988360170074019202011-04-03T14:24:24.921-05:002011-04-03T14:24:24.921-05:00I am coming to Deborah Digges' work vey late. ...I am coming to Deborah Digges' work vey late. Only this morning did I read her poem " The Coat" and I knew at once I must order her recent book of poems. Such a tragic loss is her death - but what a gift to discover her.

I have found very little information out there so I guess people are too stunned to say anything. Once again you have done just the right thing by posting this reading for us.
