The Going, excerpts and thoughts about my short story-podcast on Itunes...
It is a fictional short story and I read an excerpt and also talk about writing the story and looking back now in 2008.
It is a sad story and I don't think I use the word love once in the story but it is a love letter to New York City and especially the East Village, the characters me included and I include here a photo of me on the ground next to part of the poem from the story.
The podcast is not packaged by a corporation so it is wonderfully imperfect...I stutter, mispronounce words but so does the character in the story and I get emotional, when I am upset make a clicking sound and I say it is wonderful because it is not airbrushed, packaged, picture perfect...either is life...it is real and I am thrilled I have been taught enough technology by my teachers at Apple that I can now post my first podcast.
This story is dedicated to the NYPD especially the worlds greatest detectives who would go from downtown to the morgue like guardian angels....Dear Readers I am so tired and and I love the city passionately...I don't have the money for two homes and I have lived in one room, not a one bedroom but one room for the last 25 years and I think about selling my newest home and moving to a house -- somewhere where have a house with the same money and walk from room to room that is not suburbia.
Tired, blue...still passionately loving NYC.
Writing is part of my art but I don't have the clean the paint brushes and worry about ventilation...If you go to the itunes store at Apple you can type in Suzannah B. Troy and find my first podcast.
p.s. The posting of the photo f me: I love the poem in the hexagon at the top of my shoulder..."be here now..."intelligent and spiritual. My face is next to a few words from the poem The Going that goes with the short story...Tompkins Square Park, Fountain of Temperance.
