Krakow Is My Home

 

A coupla shots of me in Krakow, several years apart. 

Krakow is my home.
 
Of course New Jersey is my home.

 

Slovakia is my home. Berkeley, New York City, and Nepal are my home.

 

And Krakow is my home.

 

The recent shooting breaks my heart.

 

Below are two short pieces by me about Krakow.

 

The first is an essay written after a 2011 trip.

 

The second is an excerpt from a 1989 letter sent to friends.
