A fine tribute this morning to Frank Parker, over at Ron Silliman's blog. Click each individual link (his name, the dates, the audio) for more info.
Frank was very generous and supportive of me while I was in the process of putting together Past All Traps. He read over the manuscript and supplied a wonderful blurb for the back cover. Before he became ill, we had discussed featuring some work on his excellent Frank's Home blog. It wasn't meant to be.
He is in my memory with great fondness. Cheers, Frank.
with love,
Don

Thanks, Charles.
A big thanks for the link, Kokkie-san. Fine work, indeed.
When I come across links like this to poets I have never known and who have passed on before I could ever get to know them, it expands my awareness of those things that fill us all with awe.
Thanks Don for making it possible. Merrill
Yes, indeed, it is humbling and at the same time a source of great hope that there are so many wonderful poets out there ... largely unknown to us.
We till different fields, yet the crop is bountiful ...
Frank was very generous with me, certainly an unknown to him until very recently. An amazing guy ...
