I conducted this interview with myself in my dorm room late at night after I got back home from dance rehearsal and showered. Most people on my floor were sleeping or talking in the lounge, so the environment around my room was relatively quiet because I am a few doors down from the floor’s lounge.

As I painted I would hum my own tunes, which began my love of singing and art. That same year we got our family’s first dog, Ruby Sue, who has been a major part of my life. But into every life, some rain must fall. When I was 8 years old, and in second grade, I became very ill. I missed nearly four weeks of school, and was hospitalized for three days.

When someone says, “New York,” people may imagine the smell of a hot dog stand, the congestion of people in suits and ties hastening down Wall Street, or the sound of taxis honking and rushing to get through brief, green lights. For others, however, New York City has always been known as a creative place where one can express themselves through their art and music. For Patti Smith and Bernadette Mayer, New York City was their safe-haven where they could freely express themselves through their work. Bernadette Mayer was born in 1945, and she began to write poetry about the truth of motherhood, and her feelings about topics that hadn’t been previously addressed during the time. Patti Smith was born in 1946, and she beautifully fused rock and poetry in order to create a unique sound that would pave the way for punk rock.
