snarkout commented on the list a-ballad-of-remembrance
It occured to me that the vocabulary used by Robert Hayden in his "A Ballad of Remembrance", used to communicate his impression visiting segragation-era New Orleans as a black Northerner with a white travelling companion, fellow poet Mark van Doren, read a little like a 7th grade vocabulary list.
