About the Project
Welcome to Marooned on the Subway, a visual and literary anthology of Chicagoans. My goal is to support and encourage a society of engaged, compassionate listeners and observers. I invite you to read about the wonderful people I meet and hope that their stories inspire you to consider how, together, we compose the fabric of our society.
