Alfred Dorn - More Information
Adding to Sam's notice -- Carolyn Raphael has asked me to pass
on the below brief obituary and funeral etc. information. I have warm memories of Dr. Dorn and his limitless enthusiasm for poetry and poets; certainly many others do too:
Poet and scholar Dr. Alfred Dorn died on January 1st, 2014.
Former Vice President of the Poetry Society of America, and
author of several volumes of poetry, Dr. Dorn was widely
published in poetry journals and was the recipient of numerous
awards. He was most generous with his time and support, never
refusing a request to comment on a colleague's poetry or to attend
a reading. His devotion to his craft was an inspiration to his
students, and other poets.
There will be visiting hours on Friday, January 10th, beginning at
5 p.m. at Harden Funeral Home, 208-17 Northern Blvd., Bayside.
The funeral service will begin at the Harden Funeral Home on
Saturday, January 11th at 9:30 a.m. and will be followed by a
graveside service and burial at the Flushing Cemetery.
Most people are going to the Harden Funeral Home on Friday, at 5 p.m., when people will be reading eulogies and remembrances.
Condolences can be sent to Dr. Dorn's stepson:
