A Little Grave and Skating Tales from Milwaukee
The piece contrasts a mother at a small grave with a long humorous memoir about Angeline and skating misadventures. It weaves a somber memory of a child lost with a vivid, comic inland tale of Angeline and a crowd of neighbors and friends enjoying ice time and mishaps.
