Remembering Both September Elevenths
Martín Espada, Edward Hirsch, and others speak about poetry
in relation to September 11th . . .
This is the story of two horrific events that changed two countries on September 11th and the undocumented victims of both acts. It is also about Martín Espada, an extraordinary poet and human rights advocate, who wrote the definitive poem about 9/11 and his journey to Santiago to participate in the 100th Anniversary of Chile's greatest poet, Pablo Neruda.
