Farewell, George Hitchcock, Poet, Publisher, Playwright -- and Enduring Rebel

Alas, George Hitchcock -- founder of the poetry magazine Kayak and determined to escape any and all tedium -- died on August 27 at his home in Eugene, Oregon, at age 96. The full obituary is in today's New York Times. I also found the earlier one in the Santa Cruz paper to be worth reading. We've got one interesting piece of his on the wall in the poetry/fine press room, plus a copy of the 2003 "George Hitchcock Reader," One-Man Boat. Wish we had more.

Also, for those of you interested in writing about the man and his work: His Wikipedia article is criminally brief. How about adding to it?
