I'd love to hear you read it in your urban drawl. I had to find out the truth since we worked in Phoenix together and you didn't share this story (though I know it's a poem not a report) - I can totally see the newsroom scene as you saunter onto the 9th floor with the scoop of the day, sweaty, big smile on your face, determined to write a great award-winning story ... but the editors already have something else in mind and only want to cannibalize your best stuff. - http://www.poe-news.com/stories.php?poeurlid=20202 fuck 'em. because this is your best stuff. Thanks for finally publishing it. And I found this pretty interesting blog from way back in 2003 - http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/04/19/170954.php of course nothing from the shitty azcentral site. that’s a great intro for your poem - it adds so much.

Thank you for bringing out the humanity here; most people wouldn't care to know that woman's story. I like how you tie the two stories together. I'll definitely think about this poem every time I drive down the boulevard. This is so inspired and written with compassion.

MiMo - Metropolitan Isolation of Marginalized Offenders.

After years of utterly disruptive roadwork, new asphalt and contrived landscaping alone will not change a neighborhood. The temporary veil of a polished appearance makes pleasantry for motorists but does little to remedy the intractable condition of the down-trodden.
