Hi, family, a short note on the issue of *The Hare*: I organized this when I learned of James's diagnosis and it features reflections from one of James's first students (Carra), a now director of an MFA program with similar values to Winedale (Matt), Paul Woodruff (who shares memories of James as his student (!) and notes from years of Winedale summers), and myself. James had the chance to read the issue before it went to virtual presses and shared his reflections on it and Winedale more generally. It is characteristically self-effacing but that self shines through all the more brightly for it.
Link to the issue is here: https://thehareonline.com/ I love James, I miss him, and I grieve with you.
