By Tony Brown

A good friend and magnificient poet, Jack McCarthy, passed away yesterday after a long struggle with cancer.  I’m taking a couple of days off from posting to reflect.  Back soon.  

Thanks, all for understanding.

      Thank you. Jack had been struggling with cancer for a long time. He had easily the most gentle, dignified closure of a life I’ve ever seen, with plenty of time to speak to all he loved and who loved him before the end. I hope my own exit is as much in my control as his was. He’ll be missed.
