Taking the F Train

Bag om Taking the F Train

In Taking the F Train, a New York City poet rides the F Train through the final years of the 20th century into the 21st; both gentrification and technology are rapidly transforming life as she has known it. Her old haunts...cafés, bookstores, diners, are being replaced by luxury co-ops. There are also losses due to illness and aging...those of others as well her own. And it's not OK, she cries out! At the same time, for every push forward into the future, she's witnessing an opposite push back into the past by the so-called leader of the free world. Nothing makes sense to her anymore. There's only what can be salvaged by art...the act of creation.
