Tayari's Blog: Find Craig Arnold.

When I first saw this, I hoped it was a gag. I still hope it's a prank and Craig is making of fool of me.

I have seen several mentions on the internet that poet, Craig Arnold, is missing in Japan. Here is a summary of the situation that I found on the blog dedicated to finding Craig.

Our dear friend and an exceptionally talented poet, Craig Arnold, whom some of you know, has gone missing on a small volcanic island in Japan while on a creative exchange fellowship. Craig, an experienced explorer of volcanoes, never returned to his inn after leaving alone to research the island's active volcano for the afternoon. The authorities are on the third day of searching for Craig, and are scouring the small island (of only 160 inhabitants) with dogs and helicopters. If he is not found by the end of the day, the authorities will call off the search. We can not let there be a lag in this search while finding Craig alive is still a real possibility.

I'll keep you posted.
