Listen: Galway Kinnell Reading "When the Towers Fell"
Filed under: Little Words Tagged: audio, Galway Kinnell, in memoriam, Kim Addonizio, poetry, September 11
The poem was first published in The New Yorker; here, he reads it aloud and talks about writing it. Galway’s voice always moves me. I’m also rereading Kim Addonizio’s lovely, forlorn poem “What the Dead Fear,” and I think you’ll find it apropos, too.
Extremely incidentally, I was among the students Galway mentions in his introduction, whose first class in the NYU creative writing program was scheduled for that day.
