10048 is THE 9/11 book. In the tradition of Ben ts John Browns Body, Reznikoffs Testimony, Rukeysers U. S. 1, and other poetry of history, 10048 does more than tell the story of the construction and destruction of the Twin Towers, it celebrates their place in American culture. It is OUR 9/11 book. Edward A. Dougherty was a volunteer at a peace center in Hiroshima, Japan, and has been granted the SUNY Chancellors award in Scholarship and Creative Activity.
