Anselm Hollo in 2009 and in 2012 – photos by Tom Raworth
(Anselm Hollo 1934-2013)
Sad news – our dear dear friend and brother, Anselm Hollo died this morning, following a protracted fight against a persistent meningioma and resultant complications. He was 78. More appreciations (many more appreciations) to follow.
Our birthday celebration of some of his remarkable achievements can be found here.
I'm glad you put up this post, and there's some good links here about dear Anselm. I think of Anselm's lines upon Allen G dying:
brave old lion
gone out of reach now
through the one door
awaits us all
I posted my remembrances of Anselm on my blog too.
