In Memoriam

Washington Unbound is honored to present eminent D.C. poet, writer, and literary historian Kim Robetts’ In Memoriam list of DMV authors who passed away in 2025. 

“I started including “In Memoriam” notices in the Poetry News section of Beltway Poetry Quarterly when I founded the journal in 2000. I continued them for 15 or 16 years, until I stopped including the Poetry News as a regular online feature,” Kim told us.
