Dancing at Big Vein
by Clyde Kessler, illustrated by Kendall Kessler |
- Many of Clyde Kessler's poems examine changes in how
people relate, or fail to relate, to the land and to each
other. They record his attempts to understand or at least to
recognize how rapidly the land itself is being changed.
|
- He notes, for example, that “you can walk the land above
it [Big Vein] now, and you can see pines on burnt slag ...
It is mostly a blocked place.”
|
- Big Vein Mine (page 20)
All I saw last night were the miners
not waking, being hauled out
like coal. They stared a methane stare,
I saw father fight the deaths, saw brethren
slip to work not speaking.
