Those will last however long words and objects do; but his existence as catalyst, connector and correspondent is gone for ever. He was a personal link between such disparate traditions as American beat - and New York school - poetry; the Fluxus group of artists; the European avant-garde; the music of Steve Lacy, Joelle Leandre and Nino Locatelli; the Italian revolutionary left; and Japanese Zen Buddhism.With Gianantonio Pozzi (whom he met in Sicily) he organised P77 - a small poetry festival in Venice which, the following year, 1978, was transferred to Amsterdam to expand and become the regular "One World Poetry".
