From the Author
Mohawk Man came into being following several revisions of poems that were written over the last ten years. Even though the poems are on subjects connected to me, they are not simply a record of the last ten years of my life. I hate talking about myself at the best of times and struggle to think of anything more straining and self-indulgent than plotting my life in a series of poems. Besides, too many artists only look inward, presuming their lives are worth reading about. There are many directions for an artist to look at, many interesting subjects to examine in the outer world, and Mohawk Man aims to show that observational and polemical poems are equal in merit to emotive and personal poems.
