Edward Dorn: Tribe, 1999


Switchman throwing a switch, Proviso yards, Chicago: Jack Delano, April 1943
"My tribe came from struggling labor
Depression South Eastern Illinois
Just before the southern hills start
To roll toward the coal country
Where the east/west morainal ridges
Of Wisconsin trash pile up
At the bottom of the prairie, socially
A far Midwest recrudescence of Appalachia"
