The poetic city: “All That’s Left”

Shotguns have a large spray
“All That’s Left”
The walls of this house
may slowly come apart with age,
but their fissures let the sun
shine through…
And the floors that slope
this way and that make us
aware of all we’ve been through.
What’s left after time and age
have taken their toll
is the essential beauty of
all that remains true.

Louisiana Criminal Justice: Girls Reaching Out Works Wonders
Girls Reaching Out Works Wonders is an intervention- based program in New Orleans that focuses on giving young women the resources necessary for re- entry into their community after their time in the juvenile criminal justice system. The G.R.O.W.W. program provides many benefits for its participants, including allowing older women to act as mentors to the young women who participate in the program and giving the young women a space where they can open up and be honest without judgement.
