i'm not sure what to say either. Only that Max was a presence on this list, and I knew him only from his quips on Poetry Etc Also from his work with Sheila Murphy. I've been a lurker and sometimes participant, sometimes more, sometimes less, since I lived in Venice and, so, I think it is twenty plus years. . .Max has always been a major voice in our Poetry Etc world, and I am in sad, bewildered shock. RIP
