Thanks for the kind words.

Actually, Noami's original site was subjected to cyberattack. I have not heard from her in many years.

I became friendly with Peter Dean Rickards in recent years. It turns out we saw eye to eye on many matters. He lived in the shadow of death since he was sixteen, was profoundly influenced by this reality, finally died in Toronto ten months ago. A true Jamaican genius.

We all live in the same shadow. Afflicted felt it more keenly, could never play 'let's pretend' as most of us do. I've reached the age where many of my friends are dying off, in a world I scarcely recognize, so I think I understand some of the currents that moved him.
