It's with great sorrow that I report the loss of one of our authors: Cliff Bernier (winner of the Gival Press Poetry Award, "The Silent Art"). His wife let me know that he passed away with family nearby yesterday morning.
Not only was he a good poet but he also was a good musician.
Rest in Peace, Cliff.
