Several poems by Natasha Trethewey are presented. "Dr. Samuel Adolphus Cartwright on Dissecting the White Negro, 1851." First Line: To strip the flesh; Last Line: we still know white from not. "Blood." First Line: It must be the gaze of a benevolent viewer; Last Line: in the near distance, small as afterthought. "Help, 1968." First Line: When I see Frank's photograph; Last Line: the dark foil in this American story.
