‘The Interrupted Sky,’ a book of poems about 9/11, from Gleason’s Gym phenomenon ‘awesome’ David Lawrence
In the 20 years since September 11, 2001, David Lawrence, a highly accomplished writer who also teaches the brutal art of boxing at Gleason’s Gym in DUMBO, has produced thousands of poems published in hundreds of books and magazines.
Roughly 50 of his poems on the topic of 9/11 have now been gathered in the book The Interrupted Sky (Cyberwit.net, 2021, available on Amazon.com).
For anyone not familiar with former pro boxer “Awesome” Lawrence, The Interrupted Sky is a mesmerizing introduction to his uncensored, stream-of-consciousness, sometimes politically incorrect, often brilliant writing.
