Issue 41/42 : July - December, 2008 : Volume 11 No 1/2 To The Editor1.Dear Hassanal and Stanley: Although Leigh Harrison had notified me immediately of the tragedy, I was touched to read your respectful recognition of this fine poet and human being. Robert’s passing is heartbreaking to me. He has been a wonderful friend, and we shared an enormous respect for each other’s work over many years. The poetry scene will never be the same without him. In deep sorrow, D. H. Melhem, NY 2. Dear Abdullah, Very sorry to hear about the death of Robert Dunn. Please pass on my condolence to the family. A poet less is a world less bright. May we be sustained by our love of poetry. Syed Shamsul Haq, Dhaka 3. Dear Hassanal: What a fine friend you are. It’s moving to read of all the ways you seek to memorialize Robert Dunn.
