i don't care for brooklyn. sure, it's hip and everyone is spilling their youth there, but the only thing i've found interesting about it is the gowanus canal, a putrid waterway full of chemicals and corpses and hepatitis. maggie nelson's sequence of poems about it transformed it into something beautiful, something worth saving. now, if only she could do the same for the rest of the borough
