Ten Years After September 11, 2001: Remembrance and Reconciliation Through Poetry


Ten Years After September 11, 2001: Remembrance and Reconciliation Through Poetry

On September 10, 2010, Poets House and Trinity Wall Street, in conjunction with the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, presented a reading by some of America’s leading poets as part of the 10th anniversary commemoration of 9/11. Held in the sanctuary of Trinity Church, a few blocks from Ground Zero, poets Mark Doty, Cornelius Eady, Marie Howe, Major Jackson, J. Chester Johnson, Lawrence Joseph and Martha Rhodes read poems of grief, remembrance and reconciliation.
