Essay, Memoir, & Lyric

What are the songs of the city?

Commuting Collage

Two men walking in a street with buildings along the sidewalks. There is a younger man in a yellow shirt walking towards the camera while the older man is walking away with his back turned. The word “Devagar” is written in large white words on the street.

Walking the Big Worm

The view from the Ballsbridge Bridge in Dublin, with a curling stone road and business building on either side.

School Run

Vertical polaroid shot of brick building. Different time. Different era.

Buffalo Trace: A Threefold Vibration

A large building covered entirely in tiny, square windows.

IT IS NOT WASTE ALL THIS, NOT PLACED HERE IN DISGUST, STREET AFTER STREET

Sunset with telephone poles.

Be Here Now

A man walks behind a construction sign that reads "ROADWORK ON SIDE ROAD" on a busy city street.
