Billy Budd

Mr. Cellophane
Barney Martin broke my heart in "Chicago"
& a singer with words: after learning of the deaths of these men who sang I was googling some friends I hadn't heard from in a while last nite & shockingly found out that Ron Schrieber died last summer from cancer.
I met the poet at the 1970 COSMEP conference & kept in that kind of off & on touch that happens. Ron was a founder of Hanging Loose & editor of 31 American Poets but was also a poet. I've pulld his books from the shelf & will read him this afternoon.
