Its goal is to amass a collection of writings that will eventually resemble a collective American autobiography.

Shall not go from us, and it shall be free;

That passes over it.”

In a dark church
Where they bring the cripple and the imbecile
To be healed.
There’s a woden block where bones are broken,
Scraped clean—a river dried to its bed”
