“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 Kenny’s 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 Award–winner Maurice Kenny explores the intersections between life and art. Part one explores the lives of well-known gay artists; part two focuses on Kenny’s often difficult relationship with his father.
