[Ned Balbo]

I didn't see any recent results in my search for Joe Harrison on Eratosphere forums. Many of you know he was Waywiser's American editor and a stellar poet in his own right. He lived here in Baltimore, Maryland and died earlier this month. Those of us who admired him and/or his work (and we are many) are deeply saddened.

As a Waywiser editor, he helped bring into or keep in print some of our very best: Erica Dawson, Greg Williamson, Eric McHenry, Stephen Kampa, Morri Creech, Dora Malech, Penelope Pelizzon, Rose Kelleher, and more.

As a poet in his own right, his wit, sharp eye, flawless ear, and gift for intricate stanzas are well known.
