Rediscovered titles from Good Gay Poets Press (Boston, US), an imprint of Fag Rag. From the collection of Michael Bronski, a writer and one of the original members of GLF Boston and Fag Rag.
"Kenny begins his Native American experience and continues with elegant formal control; encircling, the poems frequently give off universal sparks. Kenny has shaped hen-like poems of compassion and stern anger, of initiation and historical collection."
Patricial Wilcox, Small Press Review
"Equipped with a magnificent voice as well as poetic power, Kenny chants us into a knowledge of past and present not to be denied."
Naomi Clark, SJSU

About the author:
Maurice Kenny (1929–2016) was born in Watertown, NY and was a poet, editor, publisher, and educator who explored his Mohawk heritage in verse, often through the voices of historical figures in the forests and settlements of colonial New York State. He founded the Strawberry Press in 1976 to publish Native American writers.
About Good Gay Poets Press & Fag Rag:
Good Gay Poets, an offshoot of Fag Rag, began producing broadsides in 1971 and poetry books in 1975, beginning with a volume containing both Salvatore Farinella’s The Orange Telephone and Charley Shively’s Nuestra Senora de los Dolores. Fag Rag was an American gay men's newspaper, published from 1971 until 1987 by the Boston-based Fag Rag Collective, which consisted of radical writers, artists and activists. Notable members were Larry Martin, Charley Shively, Michael Bronski, Thom Nickels, and John Mitzel.
