In Memoriam


Bob and Susan Arnold's Longhouse, Publishers and Booksellers has Cid Corman's works available for sale, including his Being Saigyo, Alan Chong Lau's Booklet, and Joanne Kyger's Booklet. As the Longhouse web site indicates, "Established the past 30 years in the backhills of southern Vermont, Longhouse Publishers & Booksellers specializes in all poetries, small press journals, fine first editions, fluffy ephemera, and carpentry, landscaping and dry stone building needs." Bob Arnold is a poet and stone mason who has, in J.P. Seaton's words, "kept Corman going both literally and literarily for the last twenty years."
