Bay Area Poet Tessathon set out to recreate the journey once taken by the groundbreaking Photographer Dorothea Lange in 1936 - 1938. Here's what she found:
So says Tess Taylor, a poet in the Bay Area, who undertook the journey once travelled by Dorothea Lange, the extraordinary woman photographer., is Taylor’s work in conjunction with the sweeping retrospective of Lange’s work Lange documented migrant people—some coming to California for jobs, some leaving farms that had failed in the big act of climate change we now call the Dust Bowl. She also photographed Japanese internment.
While neither Lange’s photographs nor Taylor’s poems focus solely on women, the plight of women is evident throughout.One of Taylor’s poems, “At the Women’s Shelter,” is about women fleeing domestic violence and waiting for partners they’ve been separated from on their travels:Always women trying to get away.Migrants come after they’re released
Someone has said that thinking about photographs without words is essentially impossible. Lange herself said “All photographs—not only those that are so called ‘documentary’—can be fortified by words.” Taylor used Lange’s notes throughout to record her trip and what she was now seeing on her own. This is, in a way, a never-ending story.
“I was seeing analogs and constellations that repeat and erupt through time,” said Lange. “We face a new era of detention centers. I thought it was fascinating to travel the literal ground she traveled and ask what’s there now.”“Long, hot and exhausting- engrossing. I’d be gone for days, come home and collapse,” Taylor said, adding, “These roads are much better then the ones Lange once travelled. I was awed by how brave and strong she must have been.

Lunch Barely Misses Area Man’s Vital OrgansCHICAGO—In what doctors are calling nothing short of a miracle, local man Jared Fox narrowly averted catastrophe Wednesday when the bacon cheeseburger he ate for lunch managed to pass through his body without hitting any life-sustaining organs. “Mr. Fox is a lucky man—that burger went right past his heart and just barely missed his lungs,” said Dr. Karen Yang of Northwestern Memorial Hospital, noting that the meal entered Fox’s body mere inches from his brain and avoided his spinal cord by a matter of centimeters. “Based on its trajectory, the lunch appeared to be headed straight for his liver and kidneys, but fortunately, its track seems to have altered just enough for it to pass by without causing any damage.” Though there were no immediate life-threatening injuries, Yang said that remnants of the burger may stay lodged in the man’s abdomen for years to come and could present long-term health complications down the line.
