“My destination is no longer a place, rather a new way of seeing.”

what we forget to remember are the flat tires fixed by roadside strangers we forget when young we snatched the cane of an overlord and righted the elder with no intent like a swan necked round a lover feathers laid back in alarm are you my hero are you here to harm this is the universe crawling begotten this is the friendship we are faced with uncertain how many times have I drunk elixir well spoken in language I know when I’m drunk and broken it comes back forever this drink this reposting beware of the bulls when they crash through the wrong I am drunk and unhinged bored with bleating song Make a video of this you panting sad poseurs this city ain’t dead though it makes a great poem this city ain’t dead’ though it makes a great poem.
A native New Yorker, I was born on the lower East Side before it was trendy. Way before.
Years ago, when the corporate world of magazine publishing booted me out the door, I picked myself up, dusted myself off and decided after struggling as a painter for most of my adult life that I would struggle as a writer.
The idea for my novel “A Birdhouse In Brooklyn” came from an original idea I had for a screenplay, “The Birdhouse.” While writing that screenplay—a collaborative effort—I felt my story was bigger than a movie and I began in earnest to write it as novel.
The novel is entirely a work of fiction. Names, characters, business organizations, places, and incidents are either the product of the author’s imagination or used fictitiously. The use of names of actual persons, places, and events is incidental to the plot, and is not intended to change the entirely fictional character of the work.
A BIRDHOUSE IN BROOKLYN has been registered with the Writers Guild of America, East #R20993 (June 13, 2006). No part of it may be posted or reprinted without permission from the author, Linda Danz.
