PDFShenandoah and the rest of the American literary community mourn the loss of Jake Adam York, who died Sunday after a massive stroke. He was 40. Jake had been a Contributing Editor to this magazine for over a decade and studied with me at Auburn University, where he wrote a collection of poems for his honors thesis. I’ve never taught anyone else who so swiftly surpassed me and gave the full measure. I’ll say more when I can get collected and words come back to me.

I’m so sorry, Rod. This loss has hit many people hard. So young. xoxox
Yep. The full measure.
Wish you were here, Rod.

Rod, we are all trying to get collected, I think. In Alabama, we want to honor Jake’s work, his inspiration from home, and how he made his way in the world of poetry. I would love your input on this when the time is right. JT
