Grace Schulman and "Kol Nidrei: September 2001"

One of the perks of my "day job" at The City University of New York is proximity to an amazing array of creative writing programs, events, and talents. Today I am scheduled to meet with poet Grace Schulman, a Distinguished Professor at CUNY's Baruch College. I've been reading some of Professor Schulman's work lately, and am especially moved by her poem "Kol Nidrei: September 2001," which presents a particularly Jewish perspective on life in New York just after the September 11 attacks. It's an incredible piece.
