This weekend in NYC, presented by The Uptown Collective, former fwriction : review contributor Robb Todd (“City From a Bridge”) will read from his new collection, Steal Me For Your Stories. Win.
“Snow floated in the next day, early in the morning, like a sifting, and the dark hill framed by my window slowly turned white behind the twisted black veins of barren branches and the wind rose and the snow got bigger and did not stop.”
Robb Todd, “The City From a Bridge”
“I dove into piles of leaves in a park because it was my last chance before the snow and if my friend and I were going to enjoy the city properly on the holiday, unbound from obligation and other people, we had to do whatever everyone else was not doing.
Birds flying in flocks circled above the streets and between buildings, black outlines against a bright, clouded sky, and they landed on ledges and rested and did the same thing over again.”
Robb Todd, “The City From a Bridge”
