This session was held at the Colonial Motel in Oramel, NY; its participants were employees at the 680,000 square-foot Intergrow Greenhouse in nearby Fillmore, NY. A list of the poems appears below, all of which were translated by Pommy Vega. --Juan Jose Pérez, "I Am an Eagle" --Isael Nava, "I Am the Sea" --Mario Estrada, "Hello, I Am the River" --Gil Nava, "Rainbow" --Constantino Garcia, "Hello, I Am the Water" Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Pérez, Juan Jose Nava, Isael Estrada, Mario Nava, Gil Garcia, Constantino Vega, Janine Pommy (translator) Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Geneseo Migrant Center Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2002-06 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Cooper, Ken Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Creative Artists Migrant Program Services collection, Genesee Valley Council on the Arts Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource pdf, 78 KB Creative Artists Migrant Program Services Geneseo Migrant Center Intergrow Janine Pommy Vega Poetry https://openvalley.org/files/original/bd5742e878c5bb968354ca5645490fe4.png 928ab92b6f3a261e0012a7a78aad9c50 Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Title A name given to the resource Jose Coyote Pérez - "I Am Nature" July 2002 Description An account of the resource This poem written in July 2002 by Jose Coyote Pérez explains migrant farming in a contrasting way. Pérez expresses that he feels like he is nature/the earth because of his good work always being taken advantage of. "Human beings are killing me/even though I serve them so much..." With this being written in July, it is safe to say that the location he was in was having elevated temperatures making it even more challenging for him to work. Yet, Pérez, just like numerous other migrant workers do not have the choice whether to work or not because they are essential workers, just as nature has no choice to give humans what they need because it is essential as well.

Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Perry Herald Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1954-1958 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Cooper, Ken Description An account of the resource Between 1954 and 1957, the Perry Knitting Company (PK) published a monthly news page in the Perry Herald. Today, probably it would bear a label of “paid content,” although it’s unclear whether the PK was charged advertising rates for the full-page section. As the town’s largest employer, what happened at the mill had consequences and impacted thousands of Perry residents. For example there was always a small item concerning accidents or hours lost on the job, and the PK devoted a lot of space to reinforcing this message and its success. But sometimes economic conditions caused slowdowns at the plant, and in these instances we can see the company responding to events and anxieties beyond its control. The Perry Knitting Company News held to a fairly consistent format during its publication. There were photographs and feature stories on employees; promotional pieces on the company’s Nitey Nite line of sleepwear; births, marriages, illnesses and deaths of company employees; and many, many stories about bowling. At top center of each issue was a folksy column written by company president George Traber, Jr., and then beginning late in 1956 his son George Traber 3rd. Given the relative scarcity of archival documents from the PK--not to mention the advanced age of former employees--this collection of 42 issues probably gives us the best insight as to daily life at the mill during the 1950s. It’s an excellent companion to the <a href="https://nyheritage.org/collections/clark-rice-photography-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clark Rice Photography Collection,</a> since Rice did work for the mill and the “News” sometimes helps explain images in the collection.
