Book excerpt: This important and inspiring collection is a sweeping overview of poetry written in New York in the year after the 9/11 attacks . . . This anthology contains poems by forty-five of the most important poets of the day, as well as some of the literary world’s most dynamic young voices, all writing in New York City in the year immediately following the World Trade Center attacks. It was inspired by the editors' observation that after the tragic events of September 11th, 2001, poetry was being posted everywhere in New York—on telephone poles, on warehouse walls, on bus shelters, in the letters-to-the-editor section of newspapers ... New Yorkers spontaneously turned to poetry to understand and cope with the tragedy of the attack. Full of humor, love, rage and fear, this diverse collection of poems attests to that power of poetry to express and to heal the human spirit. Featuring poems by Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Dunn; Best American Poetry series editor David Lehman; National Book Award winner and New York State Poet Jean Valentine; the first ever Nuyorican Slam-Poetry champ; poets laureate of Brooklyn and Queens; and a poem and introduction by National Book Award finalist Alicia Ostriker.

Book Synopsis Twin Towers, Twin Decades by : James P Wagner

Download or read book Twin Towers, Twin Decades written by James P Wagner. This book was released on 2021-08-24. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's been two decades now, since that horrible event. And in these twin decades, there has been one undeniable fact; there was a world before 9/11, and a world after 9/11. For many of us, the years preceding the attacks were happier years, years where more people trusted each other. Where there seemed to be (whether true or not) less to be afraid of. Both from outside enemies, and government overreach. In poetic terms, 9/11 was the volta of our generation...the turn...the point in the sonnet of life when the mood shifted. After Nine-Eleven we were scared, we were heart-broken, we were united, we were patriotic, we were confused, we were angry, we were comprised of contradicting and complimenting emotions that shaped the decisions big and small of the years that followed. The 50 poets in this volume capture a small piece of the twin decades since the fall of the twin towers. Published by Local Gems Press. www.localgemspoetrypress.com

Book Synopsis State of Shock by : Jerry Mazza

Download or read book State of Shock written by Jerry Mazza. This book was released on 2008-08-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: STATE OF SHOCK (SOS) by Jerry Mazza is the first book by an American poet to deal solely with 9/11 and the resulting Iraq and Afghanistan wars and their effect on the American psyche. These startling narrative and lyrical poems are an S O S to all to be aware of the dangers we presently face. With poems of bold imagery and rhythmic intensity, poet and journalist Mazza confronts the dangers head-on. His poems suggest that an operation with the magnitude of 9/11 was not the work of 19 Islamic “terrorists” but members of our own ruling elite to start “The War on Terror” in a grasp for Mid-Eastern oil and power. Additionally, Mazza believes the Towers were not toppled by fires caused by the "hijacked airliners," but rather by powerful internal explosions from within the Towers that preceeded the 10- second, free-fall crumbling of the buildings, literally at the speed of gravity. Beyond that, Mazza concludes that 9/11 constituted a form of coup d’etat by the Bush administration, the purpose to gain unprecedented powers for war-making and appropriations as well as for controlling civil dissent. As Daniel Estulin, author of the international best-seller, The True Story of the Bilderberg Group, writes in his foreward to Mazza’s State Of Shock... “...I keep reminding myself that the pages of this book are a re-vindication of decency at the expense of cruelty and chance. For me, the main theme is not political nor is it an outspoken criticism of totalitarianism but rather the beating of a Man’s loving heart—and it is for the sake of this theme that it should be read...” Anyone interested in the future of America and the world--anyone interested in the power of poetry for political activism and personal expression should read Jerry Mazza's State Of Shock.
