'Poetry After 9/11'

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Sep 9, 2021

In the wake of 9/11, Dennis Johnson and Valerie Merians decided to form a publishing company. Soon after, they published Poetry After 9/11: An Anthology of New York Poets, a collection featuring various poets. Now, the volume will be re-released in honor of the 20th anniversary of the attacks. Johnson and Merians join us to discuss the collection along with poet Nancy Mercado, whose work is featured in the volume.
