									School by the Cliff
							Descrizione del progetto
									I will be working on book-length sequence which bears my landscape’s struggle between the two degrading economies of plantation slavery and modern tourism. Most of the confrontation is situated on a school built on a cliff; children see the future from a perilous height. They fall often, testing earth. The poem attempts to hold true to, with credible imagination, their endurance, in light of past and ongoing atrocities.
