- Notes:
- This chapbook, winner of the 2016 Moonstone Chapbook Contest, chronicles a time-traveling stranger's trek through Philadelphia, seeking a deeper understanding of Philadelphia's life, culture, and history. Using the robot metaphor for how someone might navigate new territory in a mechanical way, Hall created poems in a variety of styles to explore such topics as the Mason Dixon Line, the Constitution, slavery, "Henry Box Brown," abolition, Richard Allen, and the importance of the A.M.E. Church.
