A few weeks ago, someone posted Bob Hicok's "A Primer," about Michigan. (It's also available on the New Yorker website, here: http://www.newyorker.com/fiction/poetry/2008/05/19/080519po_poem_hicok.)

Can anyone help me think of other poems about specific states? I know there must be more, but I'm drawing a mental blank. Thanks so much.
