James Liddy passed away yesterday at the age of 73. Born in Dublin in 1934, Liddy is perhaps best known for his early collections, In A Blue Smoke (1964) and Blue Mountain (1968). The first volume of his memoir, The Doctor’s House: An Autobiography, was published in 2004. He taught at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee along with Smartish Pace poet Marilyn Taylor.
