Blues for Bill: A Tribute to William Matthews

Edited by Kurt Brown, Meg Kearney, Donna Reis, Estha Weiner

About the Book

Blues for Bill celebrates the life and work of poet William Matthews through his own language, that of poetry. While the poems of William Matthews are well known and remembered, this collection of poems ensures that the world will remember Bill himself: his graciousness, intelligence, knowledge, style, good humor, capacity for friendship, immense talent, and wit. In this anthology, the editors memoralize the character and soul of this most unique man. The poems included are written by people who knew Bill in a variety of ways, under myriad circumstances: as friend, both old and new; as mentor and teacher; as colleague; as father. Their poems are remarkable, true testaments to Bill and his art.
