Rain and Other Fictions
"Acclaimed poet Maurice Kenny turns his lyrical voice to the narrative in this first collection of short fiction. Vignettes of a life spent on the road, Kenny's fictions capture his Native American heritage and explore the value of tradition in contemporary society. A Mohawk, Kenny is poet-in-residence at North Country Community College in Saranac Lake, New York and visiting professor at Oklahoma State University in Norman, Oklahoma. Co-editor of Contact/II and editor/publisher of Strawberry Press, his work appears in many outstanding anthologies and journals. He received the prestigious American Book Awards in 1984.

Travelling Knowledges
In the context of de/colonization, the boundary between an Aboriginal text and the analysis by a non-Aboriginal outsider poses particular challenges often constructed as unbridgeable. Eigenbrod argues that politically correct silence is not the answer but instead does a disservice to the literature that, like all literature, depends on being read, taught, and disseminated in various ways. In Travelling Knowledges, Eigenbrod suggests decolonizing strategies when approaching Aboriginal texts as an outsider and challenges conventional notions of expertise. She concludes that literatures of colonized peoples have to be read ethically, not only without colonial impositions of labels but also with the responsibility to read beyond the text or, in Lee Maracle's words, to become "the architect of great social transformation." Features the works of: Jeannette Armstrong (Okanagan), Louise Halfe (Cree), Margo Kane (Saulteaux/Cree), Maurice Kenny (Mohawk), Thomas King (Cherokee, living in Canada), Emma LaRocque (Cree/Metis), Lee Maracle (Sto: lo/Metis), Ruby Slipperjack (Anishnaabe), Lorne Simon (Miikmaq), Richard Wagamese (Anishnaabe), and Emma Lee Warrior (Peigan)
Tortured Skins, and Other Fictions
Ranging freely through time and place, Kenny's spirit is as unbounded as is his talent. This collection of powerful stories reveals what fiction can do in the hands of a master poet. Native American literature begins a new millennium of accomplishment with these extraordinary and moving pieces.

Rooted in Rock
In the past twenty years the Adirondacks have inspired a resident population of writers who have gained regional and national prominence using the Adirondack region as their primary setting and subject matter—or at least as a significant point of departure. Rooted in Rock is the first collection of its kind in more than twenty years, since Paul Jamieson's Adirondack Reader. What makes the volume unique, though, is the number of contributors who not only make the Adirondacks their subject, but who make their homes in these mountains. The works in this volume include contemporary essays, literary nonfiction, poetry, short fiction, and excerpted fiction and are a mix of new and previously published writings by forty-three authors, established as well as emerging, including Bill McKibben, Sue Halpern, Russell Banks, Alex Schoumatoff, Chase Twichell, Curt Stager, Amy Godine, and Jim Gould, to name a few.
