From Library Journal
Mohawk poet Kenny, a trailblazer for contemporary Native American writers, presents both previously published and new works in this compelling collection of poetry, fiction, and commentary. His poems evoke the verdant landscape of his upper New York State home and the native peoples whose history and culture are still linked to this area. His writing is very much of the 20th century, however, and the reader here meets both Indian and non-Indian people from across the country. There are excerpts from his books of poetry Between Two Rivers: Selected Poems (White Pine Pr., 1987) and Greyhounding This America (Heidelberg Graphics, 1988) as well as a selection about attending a rain dance from Rain and Other Fictions (White Pine Pr., 1990, expanded edition). Libraries will want to acquire this book for Kenny's unique autobiographical introduction and the unpublished fiction.?Mary B. Davis, Huntington Free Lib., New York
