Episode Summary:In the 1930s, the notion of making an incubator for creativity in a region devastated by the Great Depression got tested in Nebraska. This episode looks at what happened there when the Writers' Project came to town, through a group of creatives from contrasting backgrounds, including a hobo, a nurse and a hardware store poet – all under the watchful eye of a university professor and a celebrated novelist. Starting from chaos, they ignited a surprising alchemy and made the Lincoln office one of the most productive Writers' Project hubs in the country. The Season 1 finale listens in as Americans face war clouds on the horizon, and a national radio show asks, “Can we count on youth to uphold the American Way?”Speakers: Stephen Cloyd, librarian and historianMarilyn Holt, historianJames Reidel, biographer and poetDouglas Brinkley, historianLinks and Resources: Rudolph Umland and the Federal Writers' ProjectThe Nebraska Federal Writers' Project - Lincoln City LibrariesMari Sandoz and the Writers' ProjectWeldon Kees reads his poem, "1926"WPA Guide to Nebraska (free PDF)Prairie SchoonerReading List: Vanished Act: The Life and Art of Weldon Kees, by James ReidelNebraska During the New Deal, by Marilyn Irvin HoltSoul of a People by David A.

Aferrado a la nada en un revuelo de hojas, aquí en esta ciudad en ruinas, llena de humo, pienso en vos, en la otra punta del continente, probando tu sonrisa que maduró en catástrofe, maravillosamente lista para la muerte ahora. La raída promesa de nuestra herencia es hábito ahora; ese otro año se convirtió en invierno mientras que contemplábamos los fragmentos de un mundo cayéndose a pedazos igual que un ramo ajado; nos faltaba el olor, si bien supimos darle un nombre a aquella época. Ahora conocemos ese olor, me parece, hasta donde es posible. E incluso mientras subo los peldaños, deseándote suerte, llena los porches y las calles, y un viento fétido sopla por tu habitación desierta. No se puede saber qué vientos aun más fétidos podrían soplar. El de esta noche sopla en la mente y es falsa cada sílaba, y está marchita. Adiós, adiós. A los extraños, a una calle vacía.

Si esta habitación es nuestro mundo, que este mundo se pudra. Abrí este techo, para que venga un último y monstruoso diluvio que barra con el suelo, con las sillas y esta cama que no me lleva a ningún sueño. Bajo el oscuro cielo de nuestra circunstancia y el murmullo de húmedos barómetros contemplo el polvo urbano que ensucia los cristales mientras el trueno muere. A unos kilómetros de aquí mueren los héroes, su sangre mana espesa por el pasto, dulce e inquieta, coagulada, inmunda, corre hacia al río, rumbo al mar, el mar, de donde viene ese voraz diluvio que yo espero, que me va a hacer morir.
