Kennedy’s Death: The Day Before

I was lucky enough to be invited to participate in an event at Symphony Space in New York called “Nov. 21: The Day Before” which asked artists to create work around the idea of the day BEFORE Kennedy’s assassination.  Here’s the short essay I wrote, from the perspective of the 12-year-old I then was. (NY Times review of event.)

The photo is of me with two other artists who participated in the event: Sabrina Small (center) who created artwork to accompany my reading; and Mimi Herman, poet.
