註釋"Poetry. This collection depicts and digests the trauma of 9/11, as seen by the author who lived near the Towers. Released on the 20th anniversary of the disaster, the book works to show the layers of NYC and layers of the survivor's psyche: past and present, wounded and grateful, victim and hero. Following a lyrical prelude that highlights the nearby Hudson River and its history, the long prose poem of the title follows Andrea Carter Brown as she witnesses and flees from the Trade Center attacks just a block from her apartment. The generous use of descriptive and narrative detail that makes these poems so memorable carries into elegy and aftermath, and finally into a landscape filled, like the opening poems, with quiet beauty. The book is valuable to all who lived through the event and to students of history, as well as to all trauma survivors"--
