I am related to Isaiah Mockingbird, and yes, I am that face in the moon on the cover of the Carson's record album. And the Marshmallow beer girl, and that’s me on every stick of Land O'Lakes butter . . . I can trace my lineage back to the beginning of time when the world was nothing but a scrap of mud on the tip of a loon's nose.(from her [Diane Burns'] 1993 essay
"Tequila Mockingbird")
from The Villager: Diane Burns, Native American Lower East Side poet
