Title
Voices of the Harvest
Description
Collection of poems writing by migrant farmworkers, primarily during the 1970s and '80s. Some of the works had appeared in self-published photocopied editions, others in scholarly journals. Most of the poems were written by Black farmworkers who lived part of the year in Florida and traveled to Western NY for its harvest season. The collection is dedicated to Geneseo Migrant Center (GMC) founder Dr. Gloria Mattera, who began the program during the late 1960s and passed away in 1988. This scanned copy includes handwritten inscriptions suggesting that it had been gifted to then-GMC Director Robert Lynch.
