DEDICATION & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Sacred to the memory of my father,

Very special thanks to Frankie, Iggy, and Mark.
Cyprian and Justina at Antioch,

Special thanks to dear Mister Stephen Chatham, Esquire—
senior partner of your firm, gentleman shot-caller,
unfazed shock-collarer—for always putting-out
the fires I spark whenever setting
my quill to quire;
and, to fearless, no-nonsense brothers-in-arms
Reggie Estrada and Raymond Parks—
ever on-guard, never far apart—
for protecting the crowds
from me!

•

Thanks to those deities of literature
before whom I kneel—obedient
and eager, as they were
(as those lyrics are),
to speak; that other readers,
and believers, in the magic of
words can hear their power I feel—
my influences, invoked
by name here.
