Seventeen Years On...

I picked this up for a buck a few years back at my local Dollar Bookstore:


The collection has dozens of artists and their reactions to the attacks. All are very somber, as you can imagine. Some are very angry as well, and that also makes sense.

Many of my high school students weren't yet born seventeen years ago, so that kinda ties down the space.

Anyway, it's a timely piece, having been created and released by mid-2002. It's an artifact of a moment, for sure, cultural detritus.
