Fables 9/11 Katrina

On September 11th, 2001, Peter Nicholls arrived at the pile that was the World Trade Center to assist with the rescue and recovery effort. He did not leave until two weeks later. Over the next decade he struggled to give voice to his experiences, connecting them to his childhood, his years of volunteer service in Namibia, and his work in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The selected poems in this volume are the most direct expression of what transpired during his stay at Ground Zero.
