Ozark Bluebird

Today as I drove home from work and listened to the broken record they keep playing over and over again on npr about the people who can't seem to get along in Iraq and Isreal, I started to change the channel when suddenly the poet Andrei Codrescu started telling his poetic account of his time in the Buffalo River area of the Arkansas Ozarks. You can hear it too, here.

We live near the Ozarks and have spent a lot of time on and around the Buffalo National River. Earlier this year, during spring break, we also visited Blanchard Springs Caverns, which he mentions.
