Danny Solis, Albuquerque’s first and only Slam Poet Laureate, is being remembered by friends, family and colleagues. Solis died in his sleep in New York on April 6, at age 63. A cause of death has not yet been determined, according to his family. He won national and international awards for his spoken word poetry and earned the slam poet laureate title in 2009. Though he moved to Minnesota about a decade ago, grief, remembrances and support for his family have poured out from across New Mexico.
