“Try to Find a Reason”

Deborah Purdy created “Try to Find a Reason” from The ABC of Electricity by William H. Meadowcroft (1888, rev. 1915). Please click here to read.

About the poem and the process of composing it, Deborah writes:

“Try to Find a Reason” was constructed by skimming through the text of The ABC of Electricity and collecting words and phrases. Selections were then remixed to create meaningful context.
