REVISIT

 
I've posted this favorite photo of the late great poet Ed Cox and me before, but wanted to add that this was around the time in 1972 (if not the day of) when he and I gave a poetry reading at Catholic University in DC where we shocked the authorities by reading poems about our romantic and sexual relationships with other men, considered a crime and mental illness at the time, and the late, and then young, great poet Tim Dlugos came up afterward to tell us we were his heroes. Tim and I became dear friends from that moment on until his passing from AIDS in 1990.
