Oh, what a shame.
I didn't know he invented the terzanelle. He used a terzanelle of mine in the (I think) most recent edition, though it really wasn't very good. (I'm not just being modest here. I didn't care for it at all, but he saw it at the Sphere and asked for it so I couldn't bring myself to say no).
I remember him most for cranky diatribes about free verse not being poetry, etc., but somehow I liked him. May he rest in peace.
