It feels like it’s been months since I’ve been home, but it’s only been a couple of weeks. The proximity of Mother’s Day to my return home from Italy, combined with jet lag, meant I needed a little bit of time to collect my thoughts.
I shared a little bit in a few essays on Medium. I realize that walls of text are not everyone’s thing so I broke them up:
The Beautiful Light in Florence: The Start of a Three-City Trip Through Italy
Lost & Found in the Eternal City
And soon, I’ll finish writing about Naples and the end of the trip, which I’ll update here. Maybe before the Royal Wedding and the Bronx Book Festival this weekend, (which are happening on the same day?!)
But I also just finished this piece for the Village Voice: The Bronx is Blooming, but for Whom?
More soon…

Haven’t read your Italy pieces yet but the Bronx piece…beautiful and thoughtful writing as usual.
Thanks, J., for reading.
