Vivian Maier (1926 - 2009) was an American street photographer who lived in Chicago in the 1960s and took over 150,000 photographs of the city's people and architecture. Her work was only discovered after her death when it was purchased at auction in Chicago in 2007.
No I did not meet her
except in her pictures
I was close to her during the 1968 Chicago Riots
2 years later, week after Kent State, my college was closed after riots
We were told to go home. I stayed
and now, right now, I am very sad
