Description
Crater and Tower poetically juxtaposes the volcanic eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980-the deadliest eruption in United States history-with the attack on The World Trade Center on September 11, 2001-the deadliest terroriest attack in United States history. These historic events haunt the collective American consciousness, and this book touches the collective American soul. First pubished in 2020 during the COVID epidemic, this expanded edition includes several new poems as the author looks back twenty-four years to the second of these two destructive events.
