RIP Sean Bonney (1969–2019)

We are shocked and deeply saddened to learn of the death of Sean Bonney. PennSound reports:

Today brings the sad news of English poet Sean Bonney's passing. His sister, Mel Bonney-Kane, shared this message on social media: "We are devastated to let people know that my beloved brother Sean Bonney died in a tragic accident last week in Berlin. We are in the process of seeking to bring him home and will let people know of the funeral arrangements when we are clearer. He will live on in his words and poetry."

To celebrate Bonney's life PennSound directs its listeners to Bonney's author page, which hosts "a modest collection of recordings made between 2009 and 2012," including an episode of PoemTalk for further context about Bonney's work. Our deepest condolences go out to Bonney's family, friends, and colleagues.
