It's incredibly beautiful, haunting, and touching:<BR/><BR/>http://www.npr.org/programs/pt/features/adams_pulitzer.html<BR/><BR/>The clip on Amazon doesn't reveal its beauty, but it can be found here:<BR/><BR/>http://www.amazon.com/On-the-Transmigration-of-Souls/dp/B0002JNLNMCapcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841675195251354073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840267469201344530.post-12758368398478109682008-09-11T19:50:00.000-06:002008-09-11T19:50:00.000-06:00Aw, I can understand that.

It's like any photogs who recorded Pearl Harbor, etc., people must know about it, lest they forget. :-(Capcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841675195251354073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840267469201344530.post-52618160609517343982008-09-11T18:46:00.000-06:002008-09-11T18:46:00.000-06:00Charles: I know you've seen this before, I wanted ...Charles: I know you've seen this before, I wanted to post it since I had gotten into the habit of posting a few poems and stories the past few months. I didn't wan't to just do a variation on another 9/11 anniversary.<BR/><BR/>Capcom: There are people not commenting today because they knew someone who died that day. I knew two people through a few get-togethers, they went from AON Chicago to the WTC and died. I ealized something about the cops after reading your comment. Certainly all the first responders were remembered in NY. But, from here in Chicago, for example, fire battalions were sent to Ground Zero to clear rubble and look for victims. I'm sure a dozen states did the same, and this is likely the thread that keeps the firemen in the memories of the country.<BR/><BR/>I saw the Here Is New York photo exhibit downtown in November that year, and all the photos are online, most still for sale. Its not about being gruesome, its what people chose to photograph. The squad car, crushed, with WELCOME TO HELL written in dust still remains with me as much as an video.Wayne Allen Salleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17199261942617339556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840267469201344530.post-56672406345469172562008-09-11T17:59:00.000-06:002008-09-11T17:59:00.000-06:00Very interesting thoughts, and the drawing is so g...Very interesting thoughts, and the drawing is so good as well. :-(<BR/><BR/>There were so many photos in the NY papers for months to come, that the rest of the States didn't get to see as much of as we did in NY. Images poured into the papers taken by anyone on the streets that was there. They sear into your brain forever. Particularly the one of Father Mike being carried out of the rubble after he got killed (upon going back in to help). The NY papers did mention the NYPD a lot in their coverage.Capcomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841675195251354073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840267469201344530.post-70534480839100039222008-09-11T08:03:00.000-06:002008-09-11T08:03:00.000-06:00I remember reading this.

I feel I can't survive without it, that i'll burst unless I get it out. But it's never quite enough.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.com
