“From the Ground Up,” a poem by Thomas Kneeland, is part of a series where Mirror Indy commissions local poets to capture the heart and soul of their favorite restaurants. Kneeland chose Black Leaf Vegan, owned by married couple Taria and Derrick Slack. The restaurant opened in 2021 as a food truck, and a year later the family opened the restaurant Black Leaf Vegan Café in downtown Indianapolis at 335 W.
