Hi Elizabeth, this is a wonderful tribute to August's memory. I have never come across his work before, but I have now read so many tributes to his memory, that I will do like you, and go into his portfolio. Ulla:)))

I didn't know of August or his poetry until, sadly, after his death. It's hard to follow all the people on FS that you'd like to. This is a lovely tribute to August. It's good to know his writing will be safely preserved on FanStory. His daughter will be pleased to see the tributes that have been written in his memory. judi

I have not read any work by this author did he post here in that name .Can I go through his works if I search 'August'? Once a person is no more does his poems also disappear from storyland?

I would like to read the works of the other person also...Theodore Macdowell..

Search crzypntr. His poems will be here forever now--it costs extra for that.

Hi Elizabeth,

A beautiful offering for August's Book of Poetry Tributes. I am glad you read down through his powerfully stark and stunningly honest poems. I too, didn't have the honor of knowing August personally but felt a close kinship after reading his work.

Thank you for a most fitting tribute.

Always,
Senyai

Thank you Liz for this post and tribute. I too was unfamiliar with crzypntr, but followed your lead to his profile to read his poetry. Many pieces were full of raw, heartfelt honesty and emotion. Glad it will remain on this site for all to read. May he rest in peace.

I join Liz here in paying tribute to August. As I didn't know of his writing until this week, I wouldn't dare presume to write a tribute of my own. It is enough to read what others have written, and wish August peace.

I didn't know August either, but from the tribute it sounds like he was an amazing poet. I'll have to go take a look. To those who contributed to have his work saved forever here on Fanstory, you are amazing too.
