In Memory

David Starnes, our beloved poet, colleague, teacher and friend at Georgia Southern University, passed away at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 13, 2007. The Department of Writing & Linguistics invites you to contribute any memories, thoughts, joys, sadnesses, poems to this site. Just click "add comment" to any of the published entries. They will appear as a comment, and I also will add them to the main page. We will post here news about other memorials as they are planned. We have set up a small memorial outside his office on the second floor of Newton Building where you may visit his poetry collage and leave a comment in person.

From Amanda...

I never had a class with David Starnes, nor did I spend much time with him, but the Writing & Linguistics Department is such a tight-knit group that any loss among us is felt strongly by everyone. I regret that I didn't know him better, as it was always apparent that he was one of those truly good people who inspired many. I am saddened by the loss of this writer, teacher and friend. May he live on in the memories of those who love him.
