    Sad to hear, great that you honor him so, and thanks for letting us know.

    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.

    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!
