Another poet gone

[Rekrab]

Poet Kell Robertson has died. I don't know any details yet. It's been a bad year for old poets.

contributors bio from United States of Poetry:

KELL ROBERTSON has been a rodeo cowboy, a c & w singer, and is the first man on a horse to get killed off in Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch. He has always been a poet. Currently somewhere on the road in the Southwest.

I'll have to watch The Wild Bunch again now.

I only know of him through a small chapbook of his poems published in the late 60s or early 70s. I'm sure I kept it. It was too good not to keep. It's here somewhere, and I'll dig it out in the next few days.

I thought this was going to be about Heavy D.
