Early poems—not included in this book—appeared in Epoch, Furioso, Western Review, The Black Mountain Press, Dark Tower, Sundaze, and Coastlines.
I want to thank my friends Marianne Stoll and Harry Card who gave me many excellent suggestions on how to improve the poems. The poet, Tom McKeown, was very perceptive in helping me select the poems for the book.
Cindy Gustafson was very innovative in preparing the book for publication.
Jenny Petter was the consummate artist who designed the book and created the excellent cover.
George Pio of Santa Cruz took the author photograph.
I am very grateful to the photographer, Chris Bratt, for his gracious permission to use, for the front cover, his beautiful photo, Mendocino by Moonlight. His magnificent photographs of mountains, streams, and the sea, have been shown in many exhibitions in Santa Cruz, throughout California, and recently in the Boston area.
