Carol Rumens, poet and the Guardian’s poem of the week columnist, dies aged 81

Rumens' death marks a significant loss for the literary world, particularly in the realm of contemporary poetry. Her ability to connect with readers through her 'poem of the week' column not only showcased her deep understanding of poetry but also fostered a community of engaged readers. As a poet who championed lesser-known voices alongside established names, her legacy will likely inspire future generations of poets and readers alike.
