Читать книгу Cannot Stay - Kevin Oderman - Страница 9

Acknowledgments

The author gratefully acknowledges the journals where these essays first appeared: “White Amber,” “Judith and Harold,” “Puppet Heads,” “Waiting for the Bombs,” and “At Koré’s” in the Northwest Review; “Time to Kill: Cambodia” and “A House Fitting” in the Southwest Review; “Selling” in the North Dakota Quarterly; “Colors” in Green Mountains Review; “Of Corse” in the Tusculum Review; and “Trips Not Taken” in Shadowbox.

I am indebted to the Fulbright Scholar Program and to West Virginia University for time and a warrant to travel; to Phil Brady, Jackie Fowler, Bill Schneider, and the entire inspired tribe at Etruscan, who made this book possible.

A profound bow to my old mentors who, in classrooms or in letters, awakened me: Judah Bierman, Georgia Crampton, Donald Pearce, Sherman Paul, and Guy Davenport.

I have been supported in all this, the traveling and the writing, by friends. You cannot know how much your friendship has mattered. Finally, how lucky I am to have found her, my touchstone at home and occasional companion on the road, Sara Pritchard, aka Delta B. Horne.
