Bread From Brain and Arkansas Tale of Ben Smith
A fragmented Victorian-era piece blends a surreal poem about bread from brain with a long Arkansas border story. It follows Benjamin Smith a rustic woodsman who seeks a wife in Little Rock, bonds with Polish refugees Emily Duraski and her father, and marries after a month of trial and moral resolve.
