Poetry in the Woods Has Lost a Beloved Poet
Our condolences to the family of poet Dan Rourke who left us much too soon. He last shared his poetry with a most appreciative audience on April 10 at Bertram Woods Branch.
Poet Margaret Ryan explains the role of poetry as this:
“Through poetry, we learn how to be human, how to deal with suffering, what is important and lasting, and what really doesn’t matter much.”
Dan Rourke knew what was important and his poetry is lasting. May he rest in peace.
