Mr. Siken’s stroke isn’t immediately recent (occurred 2019), but lasting effects can not be so neatly dated. A gofundme for him is still live should you wish to support him!

a new richard siken poem being published tomorrow (dec 4) on the poem-a-day website!

[cc: It’s been a year and a half. I haven’t written anyone back to say thanks or to reconnect. I look forward to being able to do that. I still sleep a lot. I tire quickly. My first post-stroke poem will be published on the Poem-a-Day website tomorrow. Deep thanks to all of you who helped me, encouraged me, said I would write again. Deep thanks also to those who said that everything would be okay, even if I didn’t write again.I’ll post a link to the poem when it goes live tomorrow.]
