A community poem that I am grateful to be apart of.
The City of Kingston launched the completion of a new community poem entitled The Causeway In The Rear-View Mirror, assembled and shaped by Poet Laureate Sadiqa de Meijer, with contributions from local residents, Including Dr.Johsnon.
The project began in April 2025 with a call for submissions of lines of recollections, phrases and words to convey what the former LaSalle Causeway bascule bridge meant to the community. Seventy-three individuals submitted their memories and recollections of the bridge, which de Meijer compiled and arranged into the poem.
