A beautiful writer, provocative thinker, and old friend, Tom Clark, has died.
Very few of you may know him, but those who did are richer for it,
His Beyond the Pale blog was a very artistic and interesting photo/poetry essay on the current state of refugees, middle-Eastern wars, and American excess. I recommend it highly.
He wrote many novels and books of poetry. All very smart in the current sense.
