The December 2017 issue of Wordgathering featured a tribute to the late poet, playwright and musician David Simpson. The retrospective included both selections from Simpson's' own work and poems written for him by other writers. Since that issue appeared, two other writers, Scott Edward Anderson and Elizabeth Rivers, have also contributed poems honoring David Simpson.

• Scott Edward Anderson, App to the Stars
• Elizabeth Rivers, Mowing Blind
