Last night I wrote a couple of poems about the gentrification of New York City. Old haunts are vanishing. New chain outlets are replacing mom and pop stores. The soul of the various communities have been taken away.
I generally do not totally focus on any one particular area. However this is more personal because more people are affected by all the new developments popping up everywhere. I have more poems on mind that woll be written about the loss of community and the places that shaped me as a person.
