I learned immense amounts from Joshua since walking into his capital poetics seminar in 2010. Such a crushing loss. He'd likely console us with di Prima: 'we die/a million times a day... get up, put on your shoes, get/ started, someone will finish'- and then point out the line remains unpunctuated.
We are devastated to say that our comrade, teacher and friend Joshua Clover passed away last night. He is irreplaceable; We will miss him forever.
