Praise for this book

"Part biography, part memoir, Ron Padgett's "Joe" is a deeply moving and tender portrait of one of the most original artists and writers who ever graced the New York scene. Ten years after Joe Brainard's death, we need this book to remember the man who remembered everything, who followed his own unique path into the hearts of those who loved and continue to love his work. And who better to tell this story than poet Ron Padgett, Brainard's fellow Tulsan and lifelong friend? The book he has written is a precious gift to all of us."--Paul Auster
