My thanks to the following publications where the following poems first
appeared: |
| The Kenyon Review for "Etymology," The American Voice for "Demeter in November," The Prose Poem for "A Little Charade," Tar River Poetry for "Death is a Material Flower," LUNA for "The Nap'' and "Apples," Manzanita Quarterly for "Faith," Poet Lore for "The Sphere" (under the title "Window With A Dozen Small Frames"), Ploughshares for "The Ideal," Sycamore Review for "The Disclosure," Ontario Review for "Perspectives," "Pregnant," and "The Girls of Cork City." |
| My gratitude, as well, to James and Susan Finnegan and The Brickwall Poets of West Hartford for weekly support and careful, critical readings of a number of these poems, and to Joan Seliger Sidney and Brad Davis who worked with me during my sabbatic leave. I owe a special debt to Mary Ann Larkin, who read this manuscript in its entirety and made many wise suggestions for revisions. Most especially, I am thankful to Robert Cording for his astute and sensitive comments, without which these poems would be less well formed than they are. And I am deeply grateful to Bruce Gregory, my first and wisest reader. |
