The Poems
bear witness
This collection is dedicated to the victims and events of September 11th, 2001—those of the World Trade Centers, The Pentagon, Shanksville Pennsylvania, and all those who defend liberty and justice. Not since the attack on Pearl Harbor have Americans known war on our homeland, and most of us cannot remember what it is to be at war.
World War II poet and Nobel Prize winner Csezlaw Milosz felt that his greatest duty as a poet was to create a record and to serve as witness to the events he had endured as a Lithuanian living in Poland.
These authors bear witness to the global struggle we now face.
