America's Poetic Tribute

About the Book

"The Sept. 11 disaster brought out lots of things people didn't know they had. Courage. Compassion. And in Jean Matricaria's case, poetry."
-Jim Beckerman, The Record

"Jean Matricaria, a mother and part–time secretary who had never written a poem...like so many of us...wants to help the victims [of September 11^th]."
-Janis Fontaine, The Palm Beach Post

"I believe your [Jean Matricaria's] idea of a commemorative book would be a great historical tribute and would also prove to be a very cathartic project for contributors to such a book."
-Martha Koletar of Glen Rock, New Jersey
