HARRISON--Jim. The American Academy of Arts and Letters notes with sorrow the death of our colleague, the distinguished novelist, poet and essayist whose love of the good life matched his love of literature.
Read MoreJim Thank you for your books of life traveled. My life is better having read them and living at the same time you did through out the 60s, 70s and on through the turn of the century. You are missed. RIP

Some of us referred to you as our favorite one-eyed Irishman. That was for the combination of a protean intellect and extremely creative sense of humor. May the crow fly!

The village of Grand Marais will always have wonderful memories of "Jimmy". A real character that we all loved. May we meet again someday.

I read all his books, even wrote poetry in his style but of course I was never as good as him. I once went with a woman named Rhonda Harrison, related or not, I never knew.
I will miss him and would hope to run into him someday, up there.
