About Paulina Vincent
At the 2023 Brooklyn Book Festival, Paulina Vincent read a 17-minute poem titled 'Subway Ghosts', a single unbroken line typed on a vintage Olympia SM3, its margins stained with coffee and subway map fragments. The piece wove oral histories from Bronx bodega owners, NYPD arrest logs from 1968, and her own grandmother’s untranslated letters from Guadalajara, all threaded through a syncopated iambic pulse borrowed from Kerouac’s 'Mexico City Blues' but fractured by contemporary text-message cadence. She doesn’t just cite the Beats, she interrogates their exclusions: where Ginsberg named names, she names the unnamed clerks, janitors, and undocumented cousins who kept the cafes open while the poets wrote. Her chapbook 'Tape Deck Elegies' was banned from two high school libraries for its use of unredacted police radio transcripts alongside love sonnets addressed to payphones. Her voice isn’t nostalgic, it’s forensic, tender, and fiercely local.
