The passing of literary giant Jim Harrison at his home in Arizona on Saturday has led to a slew of tributes, from those who knew him, as well as from those who admired his work. There’s so much good stuff in these remembrances that I thought it was worth posting a bunch of links and letting you work your way through them at your leisure. Hopefully, learning more about the man, his life, and his philosophy will lead you back to his work: the poems and novels spanning five decades. Feel free to add more links in the comments below.
