Brooklyn, New York: As seen from the corner of Bergen Street and Bond Street. Though the street Oppen recalls a far more bleak sight on Bergen, the intensity of his awareness is harrowing. I cross this street on everyday and Oppen's words remind me to be aware of both beauty and injustice--to live wholly in the present and to offer whatever small act of generosity I can manage throughout the day.
love this little series :)
