On the left there are train tracks and an abandoned freight train next to the Hudson River. Beyond the tracks and Hudson River is a city skyline of squat buildings.
A large boat is tethered to land in Detroit, Michigan.
A narrow lit up scence on the sidewalk of people playing, walking their dogs, sitting down with their dogs, and shadows as the sun beams on the pavement.

This Blissful City Reading, Recorded June 4th, 2021

Two people standing on a building's fire escape stairs.

Music of the Plague

Group of people wearing surgical masks standing around a food stall titled "De Paris: Crepes."

We Need Our Pain

People standing in a line at a postal office, "six-feet apart" yellow tape is on the ground.

Pandemic, Florida 33004

Two people talking to eachother at a bar under a string of national flags beside a street filled with parked cars and people walking.

Another Type of Silence

A sandy street with a rail road crossing. In the background there are short buildings, high-rise apartments blocks, and snow-capped mountains.

Down on the Street at Blake & Sixteen

A one-story brown brick and white plaster house with a slanted roof; a car is parked on a cracked driveway surrounded by overgrown plants.

The Birds Don’t Stop
