On January 23, 2017, Tom posted the following on his blogsite: "Parts of it have been fun and it's been a decent run."
This short poem was the opening text to his exceptional little book, LION LION, (published in 1970 by Asa Benveniste's Trigram Press).
the happy hunters are coming back
eager to be captured, to have someone unravel the knot
but nobody can understand the writing
in the book they found in the lions' lair
(Tom Raworth, 1938 - 2017)
