The world and the movement for social transformation has suffered the loss of one of its great lights and souls with the passing of the revolutionary visionary poet and organizer Jack Hirschman.
Outpourings of grief and remembrance are sounding around the globe. Jack manifested universal kindness, in practice of what he (with others) envisioned as a loving social order. He left us with a stupendous body of work with its positive forward vision, along with his fiery exposure and condemnation of the cruelties of a dying and mean system of exploitation.
Jack was the Fourth Poet Laureate of San Francisco, a founding member of the League of Revolutionaries for a New America and the Revolutionary Poets Brigade; most recently he was made the head of the World Poetry Movement.
Jack Hirschman presente!
