The great voyage to the BIG apple is soon to come to a close, and perhaps soon a few instances of or impressions of this city will be posted here. The arrival was frought with intimidation, with apprehension and the adrenaline of wanting to get over that and head out and wander. Now, I feel at ease here in Brooklyn, have gotten the hang of the buses and wandered up and down and around neighborhoods throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. I have met so many amazing authors--people I have read for years, some I had been in contact, but also others I am just getting to know and whose works are and I imagine will open my perception of the world, the language, the cultures of here and also of where I live by opposition and comparison. The two week time count is ticking! But for today--a little set of city images from NYC and then some writing news:
 |
| Water towers here have their own poetry |
 |
| Brooklyn traffic heading to the Manhattan Bridge |
 |
| Looking up at the bridges, from the Brooklyn side |
 |
| View out blurry bus window at sunset, all the colors askew heading from the Upper East side down to the East Village, Manhattan |
 |
| The new tower, seen from its base down at WTC stop as I head to the PATH train |
 |
| Jersey City, NJ--old theaters become new propaganda sources. Culture and religion at work. |
 |
| The rainbow as propulsion device for the Barclay Center, Brooklyn |
 |
| Atlantic Ave stop, Brooklyn |
 |
| Seen from Brooklyn--there she is! |
 |
| Looking over at Manhattan from a Brooklyn Park by 40th St |
