Hi Nicky,

Holy Shit! (to borrow a title).  This is a freaking incredible labour of love honouring jones. Of course it also honours/remember/recognizes jones’s large literary circles as well. Pleased to be included ;  )-  In fact there’s a lot more of Unfinished Monument stuff (and of course mine) than expected. Again, what a thorough labour of love!  

I’ve been focusing on blogging in my dotage. Age 75 now and soon to be 76, the gods willing. : )-  Lots of bad stuff the past two years - cancer op, vicious dog attack, even a few old friendships imploding. Such is the life of a Canuck poet . . .  But much good stuff, too. ;  )-

I’ve been sending materials to the Haiku Canada archives for the past couple of years, and often post something when I’m contributing on a particular writer. Here’s a post from last year on jones.

I’ll cc the HC Archives committee for their info.

Nicky, you’re incredible!!!

Peace and poetry power!

Chris
