Carnegie Newsletter Archives: C. L. Eckert, “SURVIVING”, 1988 Carnegie Newsletter August 15 p. 23.
Description
From his poetry, it seems that C. L. Eckert was an SRO tenant living in the Downtown Eastside in the late 1980s. In this excerpt of one of his poems, he reminds us that surviving can be a fundamentally daring act, and that there was—and still is—”a better-far-better way”!
