Key Bridge is a poem about race, sex, birth, and death set against the backdrop of Washington, D.C. Traveling through the city's present and past, its geography, its dream-world double, and its flora and fauna, Key Bridge examines the gap between Washington s day-to-day street-life and its status as a tourist spot and seat of the federal government. The city is presented as constantly shifting and evolving, a place that is impossible, finally, to pin down.
