Frank and I met in 1961 when he was 21 and I 16. We
separated a year and a half later - he was a farmer and I was headed toward
my own kind of life - but our connection had gone deep and lingered in both
of us. In January of 2001 I heard he had hanged himself.
Frank after his life is a side-story
within Work & days. It includes two kinds of material: edited
extracts from my own journals (with links to the unedited originals), and
extracts from Frank's letters to me or to my parents. |
