Trama

As I have suggested in my past few programs, "remembering" and "memory" are major elements in the creation of poetry. Today I read poems about Oklahoma, focusing principally on poems that remember the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression there, and ending with a poem about contemporary Oklahoma. They are by Woodie Guthrie, Roy Turner, Langston Hughes, Donald Justice, Bruce Springsteen, and Ken Hada.
