"He showed us that the world of the arts--and George loved all the arts--was the place to live. Writing, painting, making music, editing, printing--these were the worthy occupations of a lifetime. And this world intersected with and was a part of all others. It was George Hitchcock who made me understand Paul Eluard's famous observation, "There is another world, but it is in this one." The other world was the domain of the maker, the artist, of imagination. George Hitchcock, "Jorge," lived there all of his life." -Poet Mark Jarman, "Remember George Hitchcock," Writer's Chronicle, December 2010
