A Poem for Workers

by Tara Bracco on June 7, 2014 in Blog

In 2006, I produced a poetry show at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe called Raise the Wage. Through the spoken word group Poetic People Power, I commissioned Jonathan Walton to create this poem for workers. The poem, eight years later, remains relevant.
