Mulberry Days

By John Vance Gilbert

Book Overview

This book features poetry written as poet John Vance Gilbert lived on Mulberry Street. The poems are about relationships, discovery, anger, and disappointment. But it also celebrates the locations and history of Mulberry Street in New York City. Scenes include The Feast of San Genaro, Italian and Asian Restaurants, and the stormy history of Five Points which was the heart of Mulberry Street. Mulberry Street begins at Houston, the grand avenue running East/West across Manhattan. Guarding the gateway is Puck, located on the corner of Houston and Mulberry. The Puck Building once housed the staff and printing presses for the most notorious satirical magazine of the 19th Century. An interesting feature is a section of Haiku in the middle of the book providing insights into the process of two people encountering each other on Mulberry Street as summer swings into autumn.
