For my beloved N.
lady through whose profound and fragile lips the sweet small clumsy feet of April came into the ragged meadow of my soul.
Books are books. But if books were films, then I was the writer and director, while the producer, editor and assistant director was my wife, Nuala. This is an acknowledgement in the most straightforward sense: a formal recognition of her part in the forming of this book. This book was written by one, but created by two.
