>From news services

Patricia Goedicke, a poet who wrote in bold, precise terms about  romantic 
love as well as the stresses that illness and the specter of death  impose on a 
marriage, has died. She was 75.
 
Goedicke died July 14 of pneumonia, a complication of cancer, at St.  Patrick 
Hospital and Health Sciences Center in Missoula, Mont., according to  Connie 
Poten, a friend.
 
Goedicke taught poetry at the University of Montana in Missoula for 25  years 
and was remembered as a beloved faculty member. She continued to teach a  
poetry workshop after she retired.
 
"Patricia wrote about traditional subjects — emotion, sexuality, illness,  
death — in ways that showed her strong feelings about all of life," said Casey  
Charles, chairman of the school's English  department.
