Poetic Obituaries: During an interview with PBS in 1999,

[Ai] Ogawa described her work as "rather edgy and very dark."

Ogawa was working on several projects, including a memoir. A new volume of her poems called "No Surrender," is scheduled to publish in September.

[Jeff] Simpson said Ogawa will live on through her words.

"To me the biggest loss is the work we're not going to get to see from her, because it is so fierce and direct and honest and fearless," Simpson said.

"That's the kind of work that stands the test of time. Ai's the kind of writer that you really can't ignore."
