Walt Whitman’s “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry” beautifully explores the interconnectedness of the individual and the collective. Not only through the commute itself, but through the human experience overall. Whitman says “These and all else were to me the same as they are to you, I loved well those cities, loved well the stately and rapid river, The men and women I saw were all near to me.” Our experiences will be shared by those around us, even those in the future long after. Our steps will be retraced, and the places we leave will be filled by others.

“Ulalume” By Edgar Allan Poe had me reflect on the concept of grief. The poem itself may have been heavily influenced by Poe’s own grief, as the poem was written only a year after his wife Virginia Clemm had passed.

Only, it resurfaces when reminders of who we lost pull the pain to the forefront once more.

Hello! My name’s James Antonio. I’m a freshman taking computer science as my major. I am currently in my second semester here and I’ve been liking it so far. I plan on completing my two years here and get my associates before transferring to either Brooklyn College or Queens College. Although I’m not very good at it, I do enjoy sketching. Besides that, I also enjoy cooking, gaming. I am also trying to get into gardening, since the lack of nature in the city can feel a bit depressing.
