Lost a good one-R I P Jim Harrison

Recommended Posts

Mentor I never met-i kept inviting him to the White Mountains every winter while he was in Patagonia-but stll influenced me without ever a meet-up.. Poetry I never thought would come from me and a renewed interest in writing came out of a literary infatuation that has lasted over 20 years.

 

For a quick dose of the best of Jim Harrison I recommend the novella 'Sunset Limited' in his collection 'The Woman Lit By Fireflies'. The opening page is of a mother and daughter waiting for the Sunset Limited in the predawn dark at the Wilcox station. I have watched that train from the Dragoons while waiting for glassing light back in the '90's.  now jim and the 'limited are gone forever.
