Poet Maurice Kenny recently passed away, much to the sadness of many in our local community--and beyond. NCCC was blessed to have him spend time here as a creative writing instructor, poet in residence, and mentor. You can find many of his books of poetry and prose in our collection, including the ones mentioned in today's New York Times article about him.

Mr. Kenny gave voice in his verse to historical figures of New York State, both white and Native American.
