had a memorial for [Jerry] Halpern on April 6. Among the poems that Halpern had published in the group's biannual magazine was one called "Loose Ends," which began: "Hello, Babe! I'm in love with/Your loose ends: the clothes you/Peel off and toss helter-skelter/When you change to go out or get/Ready for sleep; the shoes that are/Strewn about, except for one pair,/Creamy-tan with short heels, standing/Together, waiting for your graceful/Feet."[Jeff] Slatnick, the executor of Halpern's estate, said he was looking at the notebooks with poems that Halpern had indicated were complete with a view to publishing them.
