Joe had an incredible ability to listen to diverse ideas, bring them together creatively, and then use his love of life to communicate them to others. As we worked together to create the first few issues of Psychoanalytic Inquiry, I would meet him with many fragmented ideas. He listened and responded with a flow of thought that sounded like poetry from deep inside, resonating with my depth. His narrative brought together fundamentals of reality: great diversity, continual movement and change, and reaching to others. A new creation would emerge. These are fundamentals of psychoanalysis. They have become the pillars of Psychoanalytic Inquiry.
