Death of Kurt Vonnegut

""MEOW""

"My heart is broken, Mr. Rosewater"

"Very few writers held my attention like Kurt did. Once you have started one of his books, you don't stop until you have finished it. Once you read one of his books, you will not be satisfied until you have read them all.....What a mind....."

"I can only say that he willl be nissed, I loved his words, I have read them all...."

"Johnny we hardly knew ye....................."

"a paperback Player Piano shelved
on a wall in a second hand store.
a weathered copy of Slapstick that
I've read three times, maybe four.
three times...maybe four.

your writings have altered me sir,
in the most subtle and grandiose ways.
Deadeye Dick makes me laugh out loud
remembering back to a favorite phrase.

your stories have helped me grow
by providing me a mental nest.
God bless you Mr. Vonnegut,
you're a cut above the rest."
