Acknowledgments I wish to acknowledge the work of my coeditor, John Hoppenthaler , without whose initial work on this project, this book would not have been possible. I want to further acknowledge Suzanna Tamminen, who gave generous feedback and advice at an earlier stage. Eric Gudas, Michael Klein, Kate Greenstreet, and John Hoppenthaler all conducted interviews with Jean Valentine that we could not include in this book, but these will be available on-line at http://www.press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id= 4348299. The work of my two research assistants, Anna Silverstein and Jesse Miller, contributed immeasurably to the completion of this project. I would never have been able to manage it on my own without their assistance. Martha Collins gave me the original impulse to take on this work and provided injections of energy at every needed moment. Jonathan Blunk put in countless hours of tireless work to proofread the manuscript and the quoted texts of Jean Valentine’s poems. Finally I want to thank Jean Valentine, whose writing occasioned this work and whose poetry and presence continues to be a beacon for me, as it has been for many others. Kazim Ali ...
