Heard Robert Pinsky the new poet laureate of the United States interviewed on
National Public Radio. He read the most astounding poem about the Triangle
Shirtwaist Fire. It was not only a moving tribute to all the lives lost but
the body of the poem contained an astonishing number of of sewing and garment
factory terms reflecting such amazing understanding of the process and nature
of garment construction and life on the factory floor.

Problem: I would like a copy of this poem. Any information about an anthology
in which is appears or any other information would be greatly appreciated.
Web site hints could help too.
