for those not familiar with sci-fi poul anderson is one of the classic writers in the field and author of a broad range of fine tales. if there is a place in the summerlands for good storytellers he will be there.

This saddens me greatly. I've read Poul's books since I was a high school freshman ... *sigh*

So Mote it be in Her name...
