September 11, 2001: American Writers Respond

Stated FE/FP. As new first edition. Signed by William Heyen on the title page. With poems by John Updike, John A. Williams, Denis Johnson, W.S. Merwin, Robert Pinksy, Joanna Scott, Lucille Clinton and over 100 other poets writing in the three months following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. William Heyen is "one towering bookwright. He is seven bloodshot feet with a wingspan that cowls the postwar world. He has composed the definitive poetry on the Holocaust, on Hiroshima, on the Gulf War, on Native American genocide, on the dying planet, on 9/11, on Walt Whitman . . . I'll call him The Poet." I have many titles from the still prolific and Brockport, NY poet. 440 pages.
