Notes:

"'Earthquakes and Sun Rise Missions' is my first book of poetry since 'Book of Life' which was completed in 1972 and published in 1973 ... In this volume I have delicately positioned two essays that begin and end the work, providing the poetry with a cultural and literary context to dance in."--Prefatory Note.

"Afterward" on title page should read "afterword".
