<p>WIFE AND WAR: THE MEMOIR is Amalie Flynn’s story of 9/11, of being just blocks away and witnessing the terror attack, of running in the dust and debris as the Twin Towers collapsed behind her, and of how, in the years that followed 9/11, she became intertwined with the war on terror that began on that day. She became a military wife. She and her husband survived his 15 month deployment to Afghanistan. And then they endured the aftermath of war when war followed her husband home, occupied their house and their marriage, and created battlefields they did not expect. But WIFE AND WAR: THE MEMOIR is more than just Flynn’s story. In a time when war spreads itself across the globe, WIFE AND WAR: THE MEMOIR is our story. www.wifeandwarthememoir.wordpress.com</p>

<p>Part memoir, part multimedia experiment, part catharsis, Amalie ("ah-MAHL-ee-ah") Flynn explores how the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 both shatter and echo in us--both as individuals and as a culture.Flynn is author of the 2013's Wife and War: A Memoir, and is also the poetry editor of the monthly literary journal The Wrath-Bearing Tree.Her poetry collection September Eleventh grew first from a 2011 series of blog posts at https://septembereleventh.wordpress.com/, which the artist in 2021 subsequently recrafted as a random-access constellation of 130 social media posts and companion YouTube videos. The book can be read sequentially, or accessed by flipping among pages."Leave it to a poet to unlock something fresh and new in the space of 'remember when' stories," writes the publisher. "Here is a narrative that both invites participants to recall their own experiences of a collectively traumatic day in history, while also recreating the immediacies and uncertainties of what it was like to live through it."In the print edition, each micro-poem is presented along with a shortened URL link to a corresponding YouTube video. In the Kindle e-book edition, each URL is a "live" hyperlink to that poem's video. Each edition also features a scannable QR code to readers to the entire set of 130 videos.</p>
