Joydeep Chakraborty replied to the topic post 9/11 american poetry in the discussion
Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 9 months agoThank you for making me familiar with A Tale for the Time Being.

A poem like “Messages from the Sky: September 11, 2001” by Fred Moramarco, which captures a number of messages from the 9/11 victims in direct speeches, is a brilliant example of…[Read more]

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 10 months agoI am late for technical problems in this website.
An Eye for an Eye is a historical interpretation of 9/11 that challenges mainstream media representation of the same and October is a deep meditation on the attempt to counter and assimilate traumatic experience. So I highly recommend these two works for our ongoing discussion.
As for the question…[Read more] -

Twentieth-Century American Literature on MLA Commons 8 years, 10 months agoSorry I’m so late to reply. I am unfamiliar with the first item above, and am surprising myself not to be familiar with the Gluck book, since I keep up with most of her work. I very much like the rest of the list. At risk of getting slightly off-topic, would you agree that fiction writers have written about 9/11 and its aftermaths more and…[Read more]
