NAOMI T. SALMON:
Die kalte Luft
drängt sich
durch diese ungehobelt Bretter-Spalten.
Weisst du
was philosophisch-so-gesprochen
Was Kälte ist?
--- Boris Lurie
Boris Lurie’s voice, image, authenticity, and wit stay with me, his art, poems and faxes to sooth me when I miss him. NO!art shall prevail.



ALDO TAMBELLINI: Remembering the many many times coming from Cambridge, MA, I stayed at your apartment on E 66th ST…the late evening & half of the nights, 2 artists talking about WWII-world politics-social issues-sometimes debating our beliefs in ART & yes, discussing the state of the ARTS-our long discussions on the phone-the many letters with clippings you sent me which led to even more discussions this old friend misses you. ►Aldo Tambellini
this poem for you, Boris:
the supersonic wind
blows creative thoughts
away from mental prisons to the sky
blowing past the planets
away throughout dark mysterious matter
echoing among galaxies
away where creative minds
burn their visions
with the energy of billions fiery stars

A Time Not to Forget



SIMON TAYLOR EXILED IN PARADISE (California): Boris, Boris... I found out about your departure yesterday. I hung out in your Sixth Street studio, a couple of dozen times, drinking vodka out of a broken coffee cup, until the wee hours of the morning. You were great company, always. Time well spent. Rest in peace, Boris. You deserve it.
All best, adieu, and take care. ►Simon Taylor
