Indie producer Lu Olkowski debuted her In Verse: Women of Troy on this week’s Studio 360:
A century ago, Troy, New York, was a thriving industrial capital. Today many of its residents live in poverty. Studio 360’s Lu Olkowski went to Troy with poet Susan B.A. Somers-Willet and photographer Brenda Ann Kenneally to document some of Troy’s stories. They spent a lot of time with a single mother, Billie Jean Hill.
The result is poetry as journalism w/ some staggeringly accurate and beautiful photos:

Photographer Brenda Ann Kenneally has a film on Troy NY: Upstate Girls.
This piece/collage is truly beautiful — like the best of Nan Goldin meets the best of Walt Whitman.
I am looking for my sweetheart I met in 1969/70. I lost contact with her but I still love her. Can someone see andthey can her find her foe me. A telephone number will do.
My email address is chiefsden2@gmail.com.
Her name was Sandy Schillinger, and later maybe Sandy Mott. Her dad owned a construction company. Please answer back one way or another.
Thank you, Bill
