The collaboration that gave birth to this blog began around 1991, with a painting based on Lance Henson’s poem: Another Song for America.
Another Song for America
driving west on ohio highway 76
just past the kent state turnoff
a soft rain begins
.
god damn you america
what have you done to your children
the wind speaks their names
any way you breathe it
