It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that we announce that Charles Coe has died. He passed away from complications after his recent prostate cancer surgery.
Charles was a wonderful human being and a multi-talented man. He was a poet, prose writer, teacher, musician (vocals and didgeridoo), chef, activist, and cherished friend. He was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, and had lived in the Boston area since 1975.

I’m a poet, prose writer, teacher of writing and a musician (vocals and didgeridoo).
I was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana but have lived in the Boston area since 1975.
After eighteen years, I retired in the spring of 2015 from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the state agency that funds arts and culture, and now spend my time writing, teaching writing, and making music.
