Well, of course there is New Worlds 5 (the Sphere Books compilation) which
features one of Robert Calvert's poems `Ode to a time flower.' But for the
full connection between Calvert and Moorcock, them living together,
virtually wife-swapping etc. I'll leave for Max Wilcox to elaborate on (or
not).

I didn't realise so many people done the HW-Moorcock-BOC(or not) psychic
connection. Attempting an explanation I'd say that Moorcock does such
bloody excellent stories, and in the case of Jerry is heavily music and
drug influenced, therefore any fan of his books will naturally try and find
out all the things and sideprojects he has done. With Hawkwind...well
virtually the same, try and find out where the hell they get such excellent
lyrics and song concepts, naturally leads eventually to Moorcock.

Or not.
