Into the New World

Exploring the aftermath of the World Trade Center's destruction, the collection delves into themes of war, peace, and human connection. Schultz's distinctive voice weaves together historical and contemporary perspectives through various personas, including a Confederate surgeon and a Khmer Rouge photographer. The poems capture moments of nature, love, and family, often invoking vivid imagery and lyric insight. Employing free verse alongside traditional forms, the work creates inviting spaces for reflection and unity amid division.
