Fisher Poets Celebrate an Industry in Decline
Work, sometimes just the memory of it, brings the fisher poets to Astoria, Ore., for a weekend each year.
The Times invites readers to submit original verse that addresses the current economic downturn, exploring the relationship of work to a way of life and a geographical place. We welcome sonnet or song, quick couplets or a haiku. (Audio and video links welcome.)
