Not sure what to say?

Joe's voice and his talents are truly missed, but will not be forgotten:

no voices
but scratching of leaves
among the headstones

(from page 41 of Kernels, haiku & senryu, 1968-1989, Nutt Studio, by Joe Nutt)

So long!

In 1989 I had the good fortune to order Joe's book of haiku and senryu, Kernels, and so enjoyed his truly fine way with words in this shortest poetic form. I had lost touch with Joe and am sorry to learn of his passing. His haiku will live on and be stellar examples of what is best about such brief poems. I will share his work at Mann Library at Cornell University for the month of November 2017 to celebrate Joe and his love of life and poetry.

A good man, talented artist and special member of our family for years. I'm imagining the drawings he has done in heaven.
