What do #AI #debtorsprisons #AnnPetry and #JamaicanJazz have to do with each other? Nothing. Though I refer to all of them when I curated @Faris & @rosieyakob’s #StrandsOfGenius at @geniusstealsco: shorturl.at/BNH8y #writing #strategy #advertising

Immersing in the 1940's & 1950's NY city and New Eng. suburban worlds of The Street & The Narrows by #AnnPetry

Centred around residential communities, survival of inhabitants confronting challenges of their birth circumstance & who they are becoming, in those environments.

Highly Recommended.
