Poems After the Attack â⬠A September 11th Anthology
Poems After the Attack ââ¬â A September 11th Anthology In the years since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack on America, poets and readers continue to turn to poetry in an effort to make sense of the devastation and the horror of that day. As Don Delillo wrote in Falling Man: A Novel: People read poems. People I know, they read poetry to ease the shock and pain, give them a kind of space, something beautiful in language . . . to bring comfort or composure. This collection comes to you accompanied by our hope that in your grief, anger, fear, confusion, or resolveà these poems offer you grace.
