Annson Kenney follow-up

received this from Peter Bushyeager, who co-founded Hot Water Review : "Annson and I went to Temple U. together. He was a year ahead of me. He majored in music and I majored in communications. We sang together in the Mens Glee Club (!!) and several years after school reconnected through the Philly poetry/art/music scene. I think he participated in one of the Poetry and Art Fairs that were done in the 70s at the now-defunct YMHA Poetry Center on Broad St. He was a funny, courtly, sometimes outrageous guy who was also cerebral and welcoming to other artists. He had a relationship with Maralyn Polak, the poet and Inquirer columnist.

HIs works in Hot Water are actually performance pieces and he performed some of them. He was involved with Relache, a new-music group that was active in Philly in the 70s and 80s (maybe still active, I don't know)"

Annson Kenney: Writing, Luminous Tubing and Other Work (1983)

Annson Kenney: Writing, Luminous Tubing and Other Work
Compiled and Written by Arthur J. Sabatini
Exhibition Booklet
Moore College of Art
Philadelphia, PA

32 pages exhibition booklet filled with B&W photos of Kenney's neon light art and other physical art. Considering that Kenney's untimely death in 1981 ended a budding career, this book is perhaps the only one dedicated exclusively to Kenney and his work. Some of this poems were published in Hot Water Review. However, there has not been a book of his poetry that I am aware of. This might be all there is to encapsulate a career cut short far too early.
