ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
'Even when silvery fish after fish comes back belly up, and the country plummets into a crepitating crater of hatred, isn't there still something singing?'
--from 'The Leash' by Ada Limón (The Leash by Ada Limón | Poetry Foundation: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/147505/the-leash)
