Man, that's sad news. I've been reading his poetry for maybe 30, 35 years (I don't care that much for his fiction). I know he's been in ill health for a long time...but, damn...This from 2008, but it's sort of appropriate:
BARKING DOG
The moon comes up.
The moon goes down.
This is to inform you
that I didn’t die young.
Age swept past me
but I caught up.
Spring has begun here and each day
brings new birds up from Mexico.
Yesterday I got a call from the outside
world but I said no in thunder.
I was a dog on a short chain
and now there’s no chain.
DALVA is very good. RIP, Jim.
