Notes on The Bronx

Notes on the Bronx is a literary portrait of a place that follows the format of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Each season in this very short book is illustrated with a photograph as a prelude and then moves into an allegro that is a poem and a first-person short, short as an adagio. Each season then ends with a longer story as a concluding movement. All stories and poems are in some way linked to one another with motifs recurring throughout the book, but it is left to the reader to discover, as in a concert, when each theme recurs and how it varies.
