Connotations

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.
