Drawing from the journals and letters of Sir William Johnson and Henry David Thoreau, "Thorow" evokes the winter landscape around Lake George in upstate New York and the historical violence of our national identity. Howe and Grubbs engage the lake's icy surface as well as the voices that haunt the unseen world beneath.

"Thorow" originally appeared on Thiefth (Blue Chopsticks). Howe and Grubbs’s newest release is Souls of the Labadie Tract (Blue Chopsticks).
