(This entry was originally posted on a temporary blog site in December.)
We here at Southern Illinois University Press had the pleasure of working with Jake Adam York on two of his books: A Mumuration of Starlings and Persons Unknown. An exceedingly talented, kind, and funny man, we consider ourselves lucky to have had the opportunity to know him, and regret that our time was cut short. On December 16, Jake Adam York passed away at age 40 after suffering a stroke. We'd like to share with you some video we took when he visited the SIU campus in 2011 for the Little Grassy Literary Festival.
We will miss him.
