A tribute to poet Tom Raworth was therefore arranged. At very short notice, Bruce Andrews, Kyle Dacuyan, Andrew Levy, and James Sherry agreed to join curator Vincent Katz in honoring Raworth. Raworth had been invited to read at Dia in 2013, but his health worsened shortly before the date of his reading, forcing him to cancel his trip from England. Raworth was an English-Irish poet, typesetter, publisher, editor, and teacher, who published over 40 books of poetry and prose during his life. He was born in 1938 in Bexleyheath, Kent, and grew up in Welling. He earned an MA ​in the theory and practice of literary translation from the University of Essex in 1970. Beginning in 1961, with a literary journal called ​Outburst​, Raworth started his publishing career, bringing to the fore a number of British and American poets, including Carol Bergé, Paul Blackburn, Gregory Corso, Robert Creeley, Fielding Dawson, Ed Dorn, Allen Ginsberg, Anselm Hollo, LeRoi Jones, David Meltzer, Charles Olson, Gary Snyder, and ruth weiss. Raworth also founded Matrix Press at this time, publishing books by David Ball, Dorn, Piero Heliczer, Hollo, and others. In 1965, Raworth and Barry Hall set up Goliard Press, which published books by Tom Clark, Jack Hirschman, Hollo, Olson, Ron Padgett, and Aram Saroyan, among others. Raworth was the author of the poetry collections ​The Relation Ship​ (1969), ​Moving (1971), ​Ace​ (1974)​, Nicht Wahr, Rosie?​ (1979), ​Writing​ (1982),​ Tottering State: Selected Poems 1963–1983​ (1984),​ Visible Shivers​ (1987), Eternal Sections (1993), Clean and Well Lit: Selected Poems 1987–1995 ​(1996), M​eadow​ (1999)​, Collected Poems (2003),​ Caller and Other Pieces ​(2007),​ Windmills in Flames: Old and New Poems (2010),​ Structures from Motion​ (2015), and ​As When​ (2015). He also collaborated with visual artists Joe Brainard and Jim Dine. Raworth passed away in London in 2017.     Dia Chelsea FALSE DD/MM/YYYY Michael Gottlieb and Tom Raworth Tribute
