Passages 5: Notes/Acknowledgements

NOTES AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

In March 1996, shortly after Larry Eigner's death, the

spontaneous appearance of a number of tributes to Larry's work —

ported now at the Electronic Poetry Center — led us to set aside a

future issue of Passages for further responses and memorials. We

circulated invitations on the Internet and posted an announcement to

Poetry Flash, generating the work now gathered in this issue. Our

delay in getting the issue out, while unintentional, does allow us to

renew attention to Larry's achievement now that a year of mourning

has passed. Thanks to all who responded to our invitations.
