Frank's Depression Poetry
This web site is dedicated to the memory of Frank Hobbs, better known as Frank’s Depression. I met Frank in Portland Maine where he, Eve Gilbert and I made the video Window Watcher based on Frank’s Depression Poetry. Later on when I moved to the Bay Area of California, Frank and Eve would often crash on my couch and leave me their hand made ‘zines as gifts.
