Greenwood cemetery is my favorite place in Brooklyn. It may be my favorite place in the world. Birdwatching? Walking around? Being so depressed you write a song about a hawk called “Monsieur Pantaloons”? Rescuing a cat who’s been living in mausoleum?? You can really do anything here. I have written multiple poems about this place, and so probably has every writer in Brooklyn. It’s a little bittersweet for me, because I used to go like every day, and can’t walk so much these days because of disability, but Greenwood has my heart forever.

“History, architecture, nature, celebrity graves (Basquiat! Boss Tweed!), the existential questions of life and death - Green-wood Cemetery has it all. The best time to visit is in the Spring when the Magnolias and Cherry Blossoms are in their full glory)”
