Every generation of Americans has at least one moment where young adults are faced with the worst and best of humanity on a national scale. McGraw captures the feelings in those moments in Emergencies of the Heart. This special 21st anniversary memorial edition includes some updated and new poems, as well as a timely foreword dedicated to the 267 Black Americans who were killed during the attacks at the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. "In Emergencies of the Heart, poet Leslie McGraw transforms her grief, anger, and confusion over the 9/11 attacks into some measure of comfort, clarity, and grace, through poems that insist on the indomitability of the human spirit. A generosity of heart pervades these poems that urge us to connect-whether it be to the beloved, to family, or to the larger human community. Because ultimately, as McGraw's poems attest, the only true response to the emergencies of the heart is love. A heartfelt, courageous debut."Angela Narciso TorresRHINO PoetrySenior Editor and Author of What Happens is Neither and Blood Orange.
