Poetic Obituaries: I was sad to hear that M. A. Griffiths,

otherwise known as Maz or Grasshopper, passed away around seven weeks ago. Apparently she lived alone and her body was discovered August 12 with a funeral service held for her this past Friday.

If anyone does not know Maz and her work, go to http://www.poetrykit.org/pkl/featurpoet/grasshop.htm

-- Jim Bennett wrote, "M A Griffiths is probably better known to list members as Grasshopper and it is this persona that has developed a unique style and voice. Grasshopper tells me that poems should stand on their own feet without preamble and explanation. The poems in this set clearly do that."

from The Writers Block: Margaret (M. A.) Griffiths (Grasshopper) RIP
