The Ada County Coroner has confirmed that Boise Police found 65-year-old Boise State English professor Tom Trusky dead in his home yesterday. The cause, though not yet determined, is not believed to be suspicious.

Trusky, a longtime member of the Boise State faculty, founded the university's Ahsahta Press, which publishes works of Western American poets, in the 1970s. He was also the director of the Idaho Center for the Book.

This is sad news. Tom was a creative, bighearted man—a good soul.
He was a real teacher.

One of the most genuine and generous people I have ever had the opportunity to meet and work with...a man whose passion carried over to others without effort. Best regards to his family and friends, his loss is felt by us all.
