S T O P P R E S S Carl Rakosi, 1903–2004 Note from Jacket editor John Tranter: Poet Carl Rakosi died on Friday afternoon 25 June 2004 at the age of 100, after a series of strokes, in his home in San Francisco. My wife Lyn and I were passing through California in November 2003, and we stopped by to have a coffee with Carl at his home in Sunset. By a lucky coincidence, it happened to be his 100th birthday. He was, as always, kind, thoughtful, bright and alert, and as sharp as a pin. We felt privileged to know him. You can read a poem by Carl in the very first issue of Jacket, from 1997. Jacket will publish more material in Jacket 25, and you can read some of the contributions already posted in that issue, including a conversation between Carl and Tom Devaney, here.
