Francis Raven’s poem covers the C&O Canal, but manages to be about much more. Raven was driven to write the piece based on his reflection while walking along the canal to work each day – that in America we have so few ruins.

 

The poems match that sentiment, themselves falling apart, tracing out what was by what is left hanging on.
