Poetic Obituaries: [Bob] Watt leaves behind a thorny but

colorful legacy, as well as friends and loved ones to make sense of it all. In an introduction to his poems in Brewing, he sums up his life's work with remarkable prescience:

"We need more ordinary Indians, some untalented people functioning. I feel I might be able to talk for the dull, the backward, the non-dandy, in short the bad poet. I ask equal time on your podium that you have now reserved for your favorite big stars."

from A.V. Club: R.I.P. Bob Watt
