Poet and playwright Michael McClure, 87 years old died on May 4, 2020 in Oakland California of complications from a stroke. "McClure reflected in the 1980's,
'We (the Beats) saw that the art of poetry was essentially dead, killed by war, by academies, by neglect, by lack of love, and by disinterest. We knew we could bring it back to life."
