acknowledgments
The inwardness of this effort has indebted me to many people. I am particularly grateful to my family for their compassionate support; the poet Jon Lang for sharing his visions and for allowing me to transmogrify his poem "The Other" into the Voor Litany (pages 299-300); the editor Maria Guarnaschelli for ennobling this book with her clarity and caring; the composer Victor Bongiovanni for permission to use a voice from his musical composition "Berceuse from Suite for Piano Four-Hand"* as Sumner's undersong (page 445); and the copy editor Betsy Cenedella for closing the circle.
Robert Silverberg published an early and greatly re-visioned excerpt of "The Blood's Hori-zon" in his New Dimensions 7 (Harper & Row, 1977).
I also want to thank Artie Conliffe for the map of the hemisphere and Fred Marcellino for the cover art.
