about

A love letter to New York City, featuring poetry by Sarah Kay and music by Caroline Shaw and The Westerlies. Created during the Covid-19 pandemic as a virtual collaboration to combat the months of fear, grief, and loneliness, the piece was brought to life by director Sam Gilberg in a short film released in the fall of 2021. Says poet Sarah Kay, "Thank you, New York City, where I am both home & still unknown."
