bringing this statement over from Alice’s Twitter. it appears the below was Alice’s last post before passing. I am heartbroken

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

I am gutted to learn of @sfdirewolf.bsky.social (Alice Wong’s) passing. She was always a warm friend, a wonderful spirit, and someone who fostered my own growth. She helped me see that, as a #disabled person with chronic illness, I matter—I am whole. I’ll be posting some of Alice’s work. ❤️ forever

“Anyone who writes is a seeker. You look at a blank page and you’re seeking. The role is assigned to us and never removed. I think this is an unbelievable blessing. I mean, to be seventy-eight years old and still looking—this amazes me.” —Louise Glück buff.ly/lgqE3GU

‘Few poets see so much, so well, both in the shapes the lines make on the page, like the contours of canyons, and in sometimes shocking figurations.’ @notquitehydepark.bsky.social on Forrest Gander: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 to Frank X. Walker, whose exceptional poetry collection LOAD IN NINE TIMES has been named *winner* of the 2025 @penamerica.bsky.social / Voelcker Award for Poetry Collection! wwnorton.com/books/978132...

Focusing on Niedecker’s longer poem Paean to Place, I'll explore how water, nature, and landscape shaped Niedecker’s storytelling and poetic form. I'll examine how the spareness of Niedecker’s language creates not absence, but a powerful, resonant presence. @poetshouse
