Bikeman: An Epic Poem by Thomas Flynn
I thought this would be a hard subject to write a poem about. I was right.

I received this book and read it straight through. Being a poet, it gave me a personal view of the tragedy, made it more tangible. It also made me think of aspects that had never occured to me. Beautiful book.

I can't speak to the quality of the poetry, but it's an interesting and often surreal/dreamlike look at one man's experiences on September Eleventh. It's not about gritty realism and angst; it's about the shock of seeing the world crumbling around you in ways you could not previously imagined. It's not an epic, despite it's grand dramatic subject; it is, instead, more of a tone/emotion piece. I liked it, but the subtitle and introduction were misleading.
