This is Ed Barrett the fisherman, not Ed Barrett the poet. Ed Barrett the poet is the author of Kevin White. I don't know if he, Ed Barrett the poet, is a fisherman. Ed Barrett the poet is really fantastic. This is what Ron says about Kevin. There is also a picture of Ed Barrett the poet here who is standing next to Bill.

Tom Morgan is the author of:

ON/GOING : a collection of poems, sketches, and writings from a notebook between 2002-2005. During this time, Tom Morgan traveled extensively across the United States, back and forth across the U.S. / Mexican border, and abroad to Thailand and India. These writings embrace a tradition of sketch-writing in daily practice, riff of Buddhist koans, race across the universe with Beat babble flow embracing everything. Tom Morgan's poems move under the moon-which Kerouac has noticed is "a piece of tea -- (Under the empty blue sky, vertebrate zoology.)"-with the grace and rhythm of panacea separating. They carve into the sluice of eternity and bump through America's landscape, shuffle abroad, over mountains, rivers, and geological shifts; they whip through highways under strata; flora dots the page like punctuation, like litter, like human life under immensity, like the quick wit and smile of a girl you should marry-all things the mind could muddle or notice with clarity and care.
