STUDY FOR A GEOGRAPHICAL TRAIL; 9. CHICAGO, by CLARENCE MAJOR Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: It was summer at the edge of town | ||||||||
It was summer at the edge of town. Two men shot at me. Bullets flew through the park. A woman fell. People gathered around her and ripped her clothes off, tearing at her dying. Stretched out on the ground her sobbing shook her pink pants as the grass turned from bright green to red. Used with the permission of Copper Canyon Press, P.O.
