Paradise Valley Quotes

“Don't turn your back on this tour
of a city of lost opportunities
Don't close your eyes
you'll miss beneath asphalt
the cobblestones, over a hundred years old,
brownstone houses lining the street
Paradise Valley,
swamp, they said, to be sucked dry
sanitized to glass boxes
hung over the river”
― Anca Vlasopolos, Penguins in a Warming World
