What is Ken vs. The City?

KvC is my blog.

It’s what I use to tell you guys about what I’m doing in the realms of creative writing, journalism, podcasting and web production.

It’s also for myself. Unless I’m writing about what I’m up to, I tend to procrastinate big time. As long as I know you are reading about what I’m doing, I can work much better. So if you see something you like, please leave a comment or two.

Who am I?

Occupation: Writer
Home Town: Stevens Point, Wisconsin
Current Residence: Manhattan, New York

Why New York?

In New York, egos are as tall at the buildings that populate its skies, and the longings of humanity extends all the way down into the deepest subways. It’s a symbol of America, and a cross-section of the world. What better place to practice my art and develop my craft than here at the center of the world? What better forge is there to build a man than the fires of New York City?

“New York is the concentrate of art and commerce and sport and religion and entertainment and finance, bringing to a single compact arena the gladiator, the evangelist, the promoter, the actor, the trader and the merchant. It carries on its lapel the inexpugnable odor of a long past, so that no matter where you sit in New York you feel the vibrations of great times and tall deeds, of queer people and events and undertakings”

- E. B. White, Here Is New York (1949)
