Sad news today from Shambhala Sun Space: Peter Orlovsky, “poet, dharma-maverick, and longtime companion of Allen Ginsberg,” has died. SunSpace and elephantjournal.com have more. Our sympathies to his family and those touched by his life. I know he will be missed at my beloved graduate alma mater Naropa University, where he taught at the Jack Kerouac School for Disembodied Poetics.
