LOCKLIN POEM IN BLANK VERSE

I’m sorry, but in printing “Homage to John Cage” you should not have listed Gerald Locklin as its author. I am. He has plagiarized and re-titled a passage from Chapter 22 of my nonfiction epic, “Harpo and Marcel: The Untold Story.”

I won’t file suit this time, but don’t let it happen again.
