R.I.P. Bill Brent, 1960-2012

I will post more about this in the coming days -- I will post a memorial or a tribute.

Some of you knew Bill as a colleague and friend -- a brave publisher and a gifted writer. Most loyal readers of this blog only knew him as "Bill" -- the friend who came to live with me for awhile last summer.

Bill had moved back to the San Francisco area after he left my house. He was not well. In fact, he was very, very ill and had been for several years.

Sunday, he jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and his body washed up on shore Monday. I am very, very disheartened by this news, although not really surprised.

I will write more in detail about his life, his art, his outlook very soon. Take care.
