Dedication

To Anne Marie Bosch, the Pilgrim at Beaver Creek, exemplar of listening
to all both spoken and silent.

Special Thanks

To Scott Fray, who kept his vision of this project alive for over ten years and had the dedication, stamina, love, and greatness of soul to make it happen. And for the graphic and sound artistry that made it real.

To my other colleagues in the project, MaryAnn Bennett Rosberg and Jonathan Talbot, for always amazing and surprising and delighting me. “They are what they are” - glorious.

To Dr. Jean Houston, Peggy Nash Rubin and the Mystery School staff, and all the Mystery School participants whose being made the poems possible.
