Richard Gillman
Both editors of Poets, Poetics, and Politics knew Humphries personally: Richard Gillman, as a friend for the last decade of Humphries' life; Michael Novak, as a student at the last poetry workshop he taught in 1967. Gillman, a Maine-based writer, is the recipient of three Yaddo fellowships and the author of two books of poetry, Too Much Alone and Lunch at Carcassonne. He has written essays for the New York Times Book Review.
