RIP, Bill Deemer

Sorry to hear that the poet Bill Deemer has died.  He was the younger brother of my old friend and RBP contributing author Charles Deemer.

Charles talks about his brother's work in this video.

We had the good fortune of publishing Bill's "Variations" in 2011, a brilliant book of poems he later chose to retire from Round Bend Press Books.

I never met Bill in person, but I admired his work.  He was the real deal.

My condolences to Charles and the family and friends of one of Oregon's greatest poets.
