"Dawn Powell's Literary Resurgence Overshadows Neglected Grave"

The grave of writer Dawn Powell, who died in 1965, is located in an unmarked grave on Hart Island in New York City's potter's field. As the city plans to open Hart Island to the public, some of Powell's admirers are considering ways to commemorate her. However, it remains uncertain if it will be possible to memorialize her on the island. While some fans hope for a memorial or plaque in the city, others believe that Powell's work and writing are the true testament to her legacy.
