For all who have not heard, the poetry community lost an incredible man yesterday.
His son writes, “It is with deep regret that I have to announce the sudden passing of my father Paul Lenzi. He was the cornerstone of our family and will be missed dearly. He began this blog as an a creative outlet and as a way of sharing his poetry.

We are proud of the legacy of words he left behind.”
Paul was a very dear friend, and an incredible human being. He helped me when I first started sharing my poetry, always having kind words to encourage. I am deeply saddened that I will not see his name in my inbox any longer, but…

It feels so strange to have just discovered a great poet by the many posts from family poets. I have been reading his poems most of the day and have ordered two books from amazon. I do hope his family keep his blog open so we can read it in its entirety.

Amen, to that, Dear Dorinda! I cannot tell you how happy I was to read your reblog of the notice from his site! Paul was a Friend, I shall deeply miss! I am so indebted to him for the seed of inspiration from his “NO ONE ELSE” for my “I ONLY HAVE MY WORDS”! What a great gift that was to me!
Do you know if the family is going to keep his blog up on WP? I would love to talk to them about it? Do you know how to contact them? On Paul’s blog? Let me know if you can?
LAH

I was the same way until I read Dorinda’s reblog of it! So very sad! His poem “NO ONE ELSE” provided the seed of inspiration for my “I ONLY HAVE ME WORDS”. I shall always be so indebted to him for that. He will be sorely missed!! I’m hoping his family will continue to keep his blog up on WP.
