Description
Episode Description
The poem "What Kind of Times Are These" from Rich's book Dark Fields of the Republic, makes reference to the Bertolt Brecht poem "For Those Born Later": "What kind of times are these/ When it's almost a crime to talk about trees/ Because it means keeping still about so many evil deeds?"
