Author's note: This volume contains all the poems that appear in Red Movie (1972, my second published volume), Crying in Early Infancy: 100 Sonnets (1977), and Dazed in the Ladies Lounge (1979). The poems appear in the same order as they did when they first appeared in each book. In a very few cases some minor revisions have been made.
The sonnets from Crying in Early Infancy originally had no titles; thirty-seven were given titles in 2001 (for their appearance in the collection Heart Print, Salt Publishing, Cambridge UK, 2001) and the remainder in 2003 (for their appearance in this book.) The order in which they were numbered and printed was decided in 1977 by the publisher of Crying in Early Infancy, Martin Duwell.' (p.153) ... John Tranter, Sydney, 2003
