NY poet Bernadette Mayer died late last month at her home in upstate New York. None of her 30 books is on a bookstore's shelf anywhere in Chapel Hill, so far as I can tell. Of course, that doesn't surprise me.
Humbled to acknowledge that none of her books is on a shelf in my library, either, because I've rarely seen any of her books on any shelf in any bookstore outside of Grolier Poetry in Boston and City Lights on the West Coast.
Good-bye, Bernadette.
