How very sorry I am to learn of the late sufferings and final passing of Kent Hieatt! I knew him for so long I can't remember when we first met, but I owe him a tremendous debt; the piece I wrote in the Spenser Encyclopedia on Amoretti and Epithalamion -- and indeed much else -- would not have been possible without his imaginative work. Ground-breaking is hardly the word for it -- imagination is what he had, and tough scholarship to go with it. And such a collaborator with others! A very great loss.
