DescriptionAn older woman works with a teenage girl on a poetry lesson during class in a public school in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The girl is opening a book titled, "American Indian Poetry" and looks toward the woman across the wooden desk from her. The teenager is sitting in a wheelchair that is rolled up to the desk. She is wearing a patterned t-shirt with a neck and back brace buckled over her torso. The older woman is speaking to the teenager and has her left hand resting on papers and a binder. They are seated in front of a large window.On View
