SAN DIEGO (AP) — David Antin, the poet and performance artist known for his “talk poems,” has died. He was 84.

Antin, who had Parkinson’s disease, died last week after a fall at his San Diego home, family members told the Los Angeles Times.

Antin won acclaim more than four decades ago for his talk poems – a hybrid of criticism, poetry and storytelling.

The Poetry Foundation identified him as part of a “group of artists and poets who brought new definitions and ambitions to poetry in the early 1970s.”
