Tony Price, Atomic Artist

The remarkable art of the late Tony Price

There's something worthy and heartwarming

in the unlikely bohemian tale

of this globetrotting New Mexico hippie, tirelessly

raiding nuclear junkpiles to create his kachina art.

The relentless "logic" of the nuclear arms race, versus

the New Age posturings of this artsy peacenik...

It's like watching some lean, shivering coyote

trailing a stainless-steel mastodon a thousand times his size...

and then, at the last, when he's toothless and

in his own last days, he finally gums its shining steel bones.
