Bringing together songs and verses of the Rust Belt and the Sun Belt, Meeting at the Divide travels across America—exploring rural and urban life from the industrial Northeast to the Continental Divide to points crossed by the mercurial winds of the desert Southwest.

Meet here—in this transcontinental and trans-temporal sojourn of the mind—farmer, rancher, and factory worker in the multicultural geographic environs of such famous Americans as Harriet Tubman, Red Jacket, and Frank Lloyd Wright. Stand looking at covered bridges, dilapidated corrals, and other icons of a fading past both east and west. Approach the endearing and the disdainful within the enduring contemporary national scene from Weehawken to Albuquerque and beyond.
