Making of a Poem: Millicent Borges Accardi on “Good Tank Farms” by Millicent Borges Accardi December 15, 2025 – “Where are the writers who work on the dock? Where are stevedores, the longshoremen? The pipe fitters? The electricians?”

“I wish we had more blue-collar writers these days. Where are the Jack Londons? And the Steinbecks? Where are the writers who work on the dock? Where are stevedores, the longshoremen? The pipe fitters?”
