      I wish to thank the Massachusetts Arts Lottery Council, whose financial support enabled me to complete some of these poems.

      Special thanks to Karen Bjorkman, Zeynep Beykont, Lori Byrne, Gloria Mindock, Carl Phillips, Catherine Sasanov and Dzvinia Orlowsky whose friendship, encouragement, and criticism helped make many of these poems possible.
