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.

Mr. Starnes had a passion for teaching that shined through from his passion for his students. I learned so much not only through the things that he taught me, but the appreciation he let me have for myself. He supported me and showed me the beautiful things i was capable of. I honestly think some of the most important things i gleaned from college were from him: he gave me hope and direction and allowed me to believe in myself. As I've always known, I'll never forget him.
