The prairies

The Prairies is a rumination on the past, what was a pristine landscape transformed into an ecosystem endangered by the sins of our fathers. The text is comprised of a timeline of historical facts describing the demise of the landscape and stanzas from the poem “The Prairies” by William Cullen Bryant celebrating the plains.
