I sent a hand-written letter to the widow of Ammon Hennacy, a Ms. Joan Thomas, asking for permission to use a quote of his as the epigraph to Red Ivy Afternoon. Given that Ammon Hennacy was born in 1983 and would today be 113 if he were alive, I'm grateful that there's even anyone alive to write to. A kindly older fellow named Frank Donovan at the Catholic Worker helped me out with this one.
