He went for a solo hike to explore an active volcano on the island and never returned to the inn where he was staying. While Japanese law mandates government-backed searches for three days, on April 30, 2009, the Japanese government agreed to extend the search an additional three days.〔http://casperstartribune.net/articles/2009/04/30/news/wyoming/d0a57ffb320ec03f872575a900014528.txt〕 Arnold was not found, and the search was then picked up by the international NGO 1st Special Response Group. Craig Arnold's trail was found near a high cliff, and he was presumed to have died from a fatal fall near the date of his disappearance.〔(University of Wyoming > News Release > News Release: ''UW Poet and Professor Believed to Have Died After Fall'' > May 8, 2009 )〕 A collection of poetry, ''Love, an Index'', written by Arnold's partner Rebecca Lindenberg and telling the story of their relationship, was published in March 2012.〔(McSweeney's Publishing )〕 A detailed account of Craig's last few days and the extensive search, entitled ''(An Exchange for Fire )'', was written by Christopher Blasdel and appeared in the anthology ''My Postwar Life: New Writings from Japan and Okinawa,'' published by Chicago Quarterly Review Books, January, 2012.〔(The Japan Times )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Craig Arnold」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
