My Installed Poem Commemorating The Previously Enslaved.
“RXR builds a luxury apartment on top of unmarked graves” could have easily been a headline on a Westchester paper.
About 16 months ago, I submitted a proposal to write a commemorative poem. I was a lil’ skeptical since every other submission I applied for required the poem to go with the application. But this one was different. It was from a construction company. The task was to create a poem rec

“This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.”
