Drive My Urn to Dollywood (Part II)

Poet Stephen Roger Powers leaves The Follower's Tale, his book of poetry about Dolly Parton, at the grave of Hank Williams in Montgomery. He stops for lunch at the Whistle Stop Cafe and pays his respects to Flannery O'Connor at her home and grave. Then he heads north to Wisconsin to drop in at Carl Sandburg's house in Milwaukee and his grandmother's old place in Madison. Everywhere he goes, he runs into people reading "Drive My Urn to Dollywood," the last poem in his book.

The text of "Drive My Urn to Dollywood," as well as audio of Stephen reading the poem, can be found here: http://www.salmonpoetry.com/audio-and-video-details.php?ID=45&bookcat=168
