Where Have All the Good Guys Gone? A Tribute to Norman Schwenk


I was so sad to hear that we had lost the poet Norman Schwenk this week. Norman was a wonderful encourager of my writing when I was starting out and a bright spark of a poet and educator. I enjoyed working with him over the years, including bringing out his last book with Parthian in 2016, Love What is Mortal: Selected Poems.

Norman was Parthian Publisher Director Richard Davies' PhD supervisor, and he pays a moving tribute to him in Wales Arts Review: Where Have All the Good Guys Gone? A Tribute to Norman Schwenk
