Note from the Editor: I cannot accept poetry contributions that I don’t specifically ask for — I don’t have the time or the space to handle them yet. If you’d like to submit a review, article or interview, send a half-page synopsis with your return email address. Because Jacket is free and has no advertising and no source of income, I regret that I cannot offer to pay for contributions.

David Bromige / Edited by Susan Gevirtz

It is sad to report that David Bromige died on 3 June 2009 at his home in Sebastopol, California, at the age of 75. The author of more than 40 books of prose and poetry, Bromige was writing a memoir, “Til There Was You”, at the time of his death. He also was working with Reality Street press in England to publish a complete collection of his poetry. In addition to his wife of 28 years, Cecelia Belle, he is survived by his son Christopher Bromige, of Vancouver, B.C., his daughter Margaret Belle Bromige, of Sebastopol, two grandchildren and many other relatives.
