like a punch in the solar plexus, learned today that my friend leah denboer, wife of poet james denboer [his website in the links to the right] passed away yesterday.

richard hansen passed along this announcement from jim:

Leah Zeff DenBoer June 20, 1932 -- January 21, 2007

Gone, gone, gone beyond,
gone altogether beyond.
O what an awakening!

from The Heart Sutra

--James DenBoer/ 330 N Street #18/ Sacramento CA 95814 jamesdb@paperwrk.com/ www. paperwrk.com

i'd have more to say but now still reeling as if in a whorl.
