Scope and Contents
This page refers to the 9/11 attack by terrorists on NYC and the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The poem reads, "paster on to the present - see it is nine eleven - the time singular - which broke down the illusion." The image depicts a four part grid, one of which is a fragment from a postcard that is also depicted in Phillips' Postcards of the 20th Century. It shows King Kong the gorilla embracing the twin towers saying "I Love New York!" enclosed by a comic strip bubble. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
