Twin Towers, Twin Decades
​

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.
