by sernabad
Tory Dent, who chronicled a life of joy and creativity even as she struggled courageously with HIV/AIDS, succumbed to the illness on Friday, December 30, 2005.
Dent won several awards for HIV, Mon Amour (2000), the second of her electrifying trilogy of AIDS-themed volumes of poetry. Her first unflinching look at the disease, What Silence Equals, was published in 1993, five years after her initial diagnosis. Ms. Dent lived long enough to see the publication of the final volume, Black Milk which was released last year.
Dent was 47.
