Do you ever encounter a book that changes the way you look at the world, just a little bit?
Folklife, studied alongside folklore, involve the customs and traditions of people in their everyday lives. One may not think that there could be much significance in something as mundane as clotheslines, but the washing of clothes -- especially without an electric washer and dryer -- is intrinsically full of meaning as part of a cultural practice passed on from one person to another.
As Helen Mather, the author of Clotheslines U.S.A. (1969), writes in the introduction:
One day it occurred to me that clotheslines of America, like the American buffalo, might one day become extinct. A lot of people talked about clotheslines, but nobody did anything about them. It was up to me. "It's too late already," said my friends in New York. "The big machines have eaten them up, and besides, everything's plastic." Nevertheless, I drove out across the country to see for myself. There are plenty of clotheslines left. American is still hung and strung with them. I went from the Atlantic to the Pacific and back again, twelve thousand miles, doing nothing but looking at clotheslines and talking to Americans who have their feet on the ground, their eyes squinting into the sun, and their clothes on the line.
Keep reading below for a selection of excerpts from Clotheslines U.S.A.

im scared the sun is setting
trapped in the circle of sin
am i forever dreaming
this kind of feeling that ive started to miss
I think I saw something sick
im sleeping under the grass
i saw you in a dream and started to cry
forever distant in a place i moved by
