-A NYC KID X D.ELLIS

David Ellis lives in the past as much as he does the future. As a self-published poet, his poems draw on the greats of Harlem.
Featured in the New York Times for his haiku poetry that he paints on driftwood and first poetry book Beach in City Island, David Ellis has been working in Harlem as a teacher for almost two decades. David fell in love with Harlem the moment he entered. “I feel the souls of those that were here before I was born, especially when I walk down Lenox Avenue.”
“Through Every Season
Through Every Generation
Beautiful Harlem” is from Ellis’s Harlem Haiku tha embodies the origin of -A NYC KID and the present state of where we still are. Beautiful Harlem!
