SPEECHLESS AND ROUTE 66
Speechless the Magazine will be
publishing a feature on poems pertaining to Route 66—opened in 1926,
decommissioned in 1985—the highway that gave rise to the country’s first
franchise (Fred Harvey Restaurants), played a large (and long) role in
the Great Depression, served as a corridor for people fleeing the
Oklahoma Dust Bowl, and has been immortalized in the classic The Grapes of Wrath. They want strong, accomplished poems with interesting takes on the “Mother Road”.

distillation of truth we can hold like a mantra in our mind." You can
share the lines of poetry that have sustained you by emailing Jennifer
at JenBenka@poets.org.
