North: Poems of Home

Marvin, South Dakota: The Blue Cloud Quarterly, (1977). 8-1/4" x 5-1/2". Unpaginated, but approx. 40 pages. Yellow stapled wrappers printed in black and green, cover art by Mohawk artist Rokwaho (Daniel Thompson). Minor wear to wrappers, very slight bump to upper corner. Inscribed by the author on the title page, signed "Maurice". Near Fine. The gay, Native American poet's fifth book, largely focusing on his childhood in the Mohawk Nation. From the inside cover: "Some of the poems express his people's reverence for their land and the result of its invasion by outsiders from Colonial times to the present. Creation themes abound in symbol, story and cultural rememberings in which the animals and plants have their significance. In a word, this collection of poetry is about Maurice Kenny's home." Chapbook Number Four from the publisher.
