Maine Poet Philip Booth Dead (1925-2007)
Poet Philip Booth was born and died in Hanover, NH, but was also a long-time resident of Castine. He died on 2 July 2007 of complications from Alzheimer's disease at age 81. He published twelve books and won Guggenheim, Rockefeller and National Endowment for the Arts fellowships. The NYT has an obituary, as does the Bangor Daily News, which includes this quote from his wife, Margaret: "Castine was the only home that I think he ever felt was his natural place. ... He always wanted to be there. He loved the straightforwardness of the people and their affection toward him."Labels: deaths, maine author, maine poet, maine writer, obituary, philip booth, poet
