Here is a link to another recent piece on David Chirot:

This is by USA poet Jerome Rothenberg at the online journal Jacket

This is interesting because Jerome Rothenberg is a poet of note who is one of the few avant poets who was linked to the old Fluxus. Jerome championed David's work. I think JR was someone who understood the significance of what David was doing.

So anyway - Thank You Jerome Rothenberg, you champion of the New Poetry, teller of Tales of Beatnik Glory - I salute you Brother!

Many friends are doing various things to remember David Chirot and gather his work, which is widely dispersed.

I am gathering, editing (when needed), all David's work he contributed to Asemic Front. I'll be posting these as I get them done for those who might want to see or save David's work.

Deeply saddened to read of the passing of US artist and poet David Baptiste Chirot (aka David Chirot). David, who had been ill on and off for the past few years, was no stranger to living close to the edge. But then I guess living close to the edge was essential for his art. In the few online exchanges I had with him he struck me with his warmth, intelligence and humility. Dave was a man of the streets - he had lived on the streets on occasions and it was in the streets where he found images for his work. He was an outsider, not some smug, arrogant, comfy art fart.

I will always remember and treasure our first conversation here on Facebook, and perhaps one day I will write about it.

Thank you, David.
