No Perfect Place

No Perfect Place

This project is a set of poems about my most treasured places and memories in Boston. It explores how I understand Boston geographically and emotionally as a city and the powerful way that place can take on memory. I wrote about the Common, Quincy Market and the Harbor, Boylston, Concord, a fun poem about all the men's restrooms in Boston, and a retrospective about Harvard. The included picture I took at the Norman B. Leventhal Park with a girl I was on a date with. I had her take a picture in my picture to demonstrate how places take on different meanings for everyone.
