Book Launch: Crossing the Rift

Bookmarks and Press 53 invite you to a special book launch event commemorating the Crossing the Rift: North Carolina Poets on 9/11 and Its Aftermath. The book brings together 116 poets from across the state, including six North Carolina poets laureate, in considering not only what happened that tragic day, but what continues to challenge us twenty years later: Islamophobia, the vilification of refugees and asylum-seekers, nationalism, supercharged military budgets, and rises in virulent racism and domestic terrorism. It is a free, in-person reading. Learn more and register at www.bookmarksnc.org/event/book-launch-crossing-rift.
