Chicken On Church
It was in New York that Larner was inspired to write Chicken on Church, both a mock-epic and a love poem to the city, particularly to the neighborhood on the end of Manhattan Island, Whitmanesque but full of specific detail and classical allusions.
He first wrote the poem in 1992, and has revised it frequently since then. "Chicken on Church" and selected other poems have recently been published by Big Rooster Press.
