Harrison was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1997 after it was discovered a lump had grown in the back of his throat. Just four years later it was reported that Harrison had undergone surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his lung.
Despite recent struggles with gout, shingles and diabetes, Harrison continued producing work into old age. His last book of poetry, âDead Manâs Float,â was published in October. The collection and several of his later works were preoccupied with mortality. Harrisonâs wife died last fall. They are survived by two daughters.
