A remembrance of Joshua Clover, written by some of the MIR faculty www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/j...

We love that you have this picture. It was one of Joshua’s favorite stories.

We are devastated to say that our comrade, teacher and friend Joshua Clover passed away last night. He is irreplaceable; We will miss him forever.
