Portsmouth poet, set about putting his things in order and writing his final goals. His last and most fervent wish was to live long enough to vote in his final presidential election and help usher Barack Obama into the White House.Dunn, a former city poet laureate, died Aug. 31, 2008 without voting. Nor was he able to achieve his dream of meeting with then-candidate Obama. But on Sept. 3, just days after his death, a letter arrived from the man who will take office on Tuesday.
