Read me, hire me…

Published March 25, 2011 by Robin

Published! My next story (on paper) will be part of the April issue of The Brooklyn Rail. My first story for the paper, in its February issue, was about 400 words. This latest one, a personal essay, is, uh….much, much longer. I’ve also published some reflections on writing over on Bushwick Daily called Monday Musing. I may also be contributing to the Curbs & Stoops blog in the future. Curbs & Stoops is a new Bushwick art space run by artists who are overflowing with ideas and passion.

Next month there might be a reading through the Numu writers’ group. But as March ends with a chill in the air, I finally finished and submitted a few key projects that took a lot of energy from my memoir manuscript. So it’s time to get back to it. And also next month, I have to find a way to celebrate my first year as a New Yorker. And it feels like it’s only been a minute or two….

I got a huge hug from 3rd Ward today. They’ve been a great support to me since I arrived in Brooklyn last year. Today they blogged about my latest project, which I designed in their media lab, as well as mentioning my previous collaborations with street artist Quel Beast.

Love Letter to Brooklyn

Published January 26, 2011 by Robin

I love Brooklyn. My first year here has been more inspiring than I ever imagined. Last Saturday, I participated in my first group art exhibition. Watching people reading my work as it hangs on a wall is unforgettable. When I heard last November about the theme,  “Love Letter to Brooklyn,” I started writing a poem. I thought it was finished by Christmas, but something wasn’t working. The night before I had to have it printed, I gave up and started something new. Sometimes that’s when the muses show up, and as soon as I wrote two new lines on my wall (I write on giant Post-Its), the poem started rewriting itself and rewriting itself, until it became the visual story that is hanging up now (through Valentine’s Day).
