Is it a rights issue? Is he on, and I just didn't search correctly? Or is it an editorial choice? Why isn’t Jim Carroll on Poetry Foundation? Is it a rights issue?

A great gateway drug to William Burroughs, Ted Berrigan, Anne Waldman, Dianne DiPrima, and that whole set of outlaws. You'll be missed, Jim. Thanks.

You are welcoming the new day with your hair leaning against the sand. Feet dive like otters into the frost, and the sudden blue seems to abandon as you leap. O to make everything summer! Soldiers move along lines like wet motions in the violet shade's reappearance. From “The Distances,” published in the April 1969 issue of Poetry:

In the draught of winter air my horse is screaming.
You are welcoming the new day with your hair leaning
against the sand. Feet dive like otters into the frost,

and the sudden blue seems to abandon as you leap. O
to make everything summer! Soldiers move along lines
like wet motions in the violet shade’s reappearance.
