MIGUEL ALGARIN R.I.P.

Miguel (sitting in the photo) passed over a week ago but I didn't post anything because we weren't close friends and I had no story that came to mind, but we did read together a few times and I respected and admired him and his work, including his founding of New York's Nuyorican Poets Cafe.

Then friend Silvia Sanza posted the flyer below (art by Alice Notley) that Included one of those times we read together in the 1970s at The Saint Mark's Poetry Project and it connected me directly to Miguel and those days. Rest In Poetry and Power, Miguel (and others on this flyer who are gone).
