Activist, poet, and memoirist MAGIE DOMINIC inspired the character “Rona” in my play, Kennedy’s Children. When people scoff, “No one could have done all that Rona does,” I reply, “Oh, I left out her career in underground theatre.” See author/artist MAGIE’s WEBPAGE.
See more 1966 JAMES D. GOSSAGE photos of MAGIE and poet Moondog HERE.
