About the author

Perry Honce McGee

A little-known early 20th-century American poet, he is remembered for My Valued Ruby (1920), a self-published collection filled with love poems, reflections on Black life, and hopeful social vision. His work feels intimate and earnest, moving from family devotion to wider hopes for his community.
