It seems that Brooklyn, New York City has always had a reputation as a writer's
refuge. Though much about Brooklyn has changed
in recent years, its rich writing history, love of the arts, and diverse
cultural and socioeconomic population are, fortunately, not among them.
Brooklyn has often served as setting in literature. Sometimes, as a mere backdrop and more often so fully it seems as if it’s a character in and of itself. Brooklyn has inspired many stories. Its rich history, landmarks and cache making it an ideal inclusion.
Brooklyn became refuge for those looking for someplace unpretentious, welcoming and familial to call home. Others sought a muse on its streets, a thing that could ignite passion, loyalty and love. It can be a balm for the soul.
Brooklyn is indeed all of these things.
It is also my home.
My only constant, true home.
