"We note with sadness the passing of Ann Darr, a prominent DC poet. Dryad Press has started an 'In Memoriam' page on their website that is terrific. The link reprints poems, and gives biographical information here.
The publisher of Dryad, Merrill Leffler, also invites anyone who is moved to do so to contribute their remembrances of Ann as a teacher, friend, influence, etc. Send him emails at [email protected], and Merrill will add to the page."
Such a sad passing. Godspeed Ann!

Thanks for posting this. I wasn't that familiar with Darr's work but have loved becoming acquainted with it. Leffler has posted some amazing poems of Darr's on that memory page.
Also, Grace Cavalieri wrote up a lovely piece for our VRZHU Press blog over at www.vrzhu.com
