Description

Maurice Kenny stands at the forefront of his generation. Few writers of any ethnicity are destined to be remembered in the mainstream of literary history; I believe that Kennys contributions as a poet are among those few. He writes from the center, as our Elders would say.Wendy Rose

A master lyricist.Joseph Bruchac

This bold new collection by American Book Awardwinner Maurice Kenny explores the intersections between life and art. Part one explores the lives of well-known gay artists; part two focuses on Kennys often difficult relationship with his father.

Reviews

"What distinguishes the best of Kenny's work is the almost incantory language which works to blur the distinction between the human and the rest of the natural world"-Barry Silesky, Another Chicago Magazine
