Richard Egielski.
Told in prosaic rhyme, this patriotic paean to America has Lady Liberty heading west to see the country she symbolizes. Although the story seems contemporary, it is the kindler, gentler America of country fairs and cattle drives that greets the errant statue. Some amusing details show up in the paintings. An author's note includes the text of the poem, "The New Colossus."
