Once Upon a Tar Creek

Mining for Voices

Beschreibung

Once Upon a Tar Creek: Mining for Voices, is part eco-poetry collection, part memoir, part Quapaw history. In this fascinating, well-researched book, Hurtt explores the story and voices associated with one of the most polluted waterways in the United States, Tar Creek, located in Oklahoma. It is a cautionary tale that reminds us that on this planet, we all live downstream.
