Come Feel The Pinch

This lit journal out of The University of Memphis’ creative writing program published my color watergraph, “Broad Street Bridge, Rochester, New York” on page 64 in their Spring 2024 issue (v44, i1). According to the journal, the Pinch District in Memphis was the residential area for Irish immigrants and Jewish merchants. The district was referred to as “Pinchgut,” after the malnourished appearance of Irish railroad workers.
