ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

At the end of 1987, when my lover John died, I was given two years to live according to my doctor’s estimate. Writing literally saved or at least extended my life. Still I couldn’t have done it without the guidance and support of my much loved teacher Terry Wolverton. She listened and stood by me in my times of grief and struggle with my diagnosis as well as the joyful times and the little work time we actually had left for writing after sharing in class. Anything to avoid that writing part.

My life is doubly blessed with the two most important men in my heart: Marcus Antonio and Kevin Martin.

I’d also like to acknowledge Thom Cardwell and David Hirsch whose meteoric love for each other has inspired my life beyond words.

Furthermore I owe thanks to the Brody Art Foundation and PEN/USA West for their financial support and encouragement. Finally love and light to John-Roger and MSIA, Michael Niemoeller, Paul Attinello, Luis Alfaro and VIVA and Laura Aguilar.
