In Verse: Congregation, Continued

Friday, November 13, 2009

Natasha Trethewey wrote her poem "Watcher" about her brother, who had a job looking for remains on the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina. He was later incarcerated for a time, and Trethewey's poem "Benediction" documents the moment of his release from jail.
