Acknowledgments

Thanks to the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts (RISCA) for a 2015 Fellowship Merit Award in Poetry, and to the editors of the following publications where some of these poems first appeared: Prairie Schooner, Renaissance Noire, The Common and Harvard Review.

I must in addition turn thanks to Kwame Dawes for his steady encouragement, elegant notes and wise counsel. I offer gratitude to Jeremy Poynting of Peepal Tree Press and Johnny Temple of Akashic Books for their stalwart support.

Chris Abani, Olga Broumas, Gregory Pardlo, Chase Twichell, Ishion Hutchinson—from being around you I inhaled much knowing of what it takes to make a poem. Thanks for the secondhand smoke.

Marie Brown has been there since the first book. The Book of Jamaica made me want to write.
