“The following pages feature the work of ten remarkable Southern California poets who passed on in the last decade and a half. In their lifetimes, they were essential members of the poetry scene, and that scene continues now without them, as it will, ultimately, without each of us. For those who knew them, they have left memories; for friends and newcomers alike, they have left remarkable bodies of work. ‘Good friends we’ve had / oh, good friends we’ve lost along the way,’ Bob Marley once sang. The following pages celebrate some of those friends.” –Michael Miller.
