Hello, I’m poet and professor Benjamin Myers here for Poetry on the Plains. Today I’m sharing with you a poem by quintessential Oklahoman poet Quraysh Ali Lansana. Lansana is the author of over twenty books of poetry, nonfiction, and children’s literature.

This remembrance first aired on HPPR in 2019.Hello, I’m Dennis Garcia. I was born in 1951 in Garden City, Kansas. Even in a small town like Garden City, we get so busy we don’t see things that impact our daily lives. For me, it was the railroad. I’m one of 10 kids raised in a small wood framed house. Our home stood alongside the Santa Fe Railroad’s main line that went through town. We lived so close that by the time I was 10, I could throw a rock from my backyard and easily reach the tracks.
