Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

On September 11, 2001, journalist Tom Flynn set off on his bike toward the World Trade Towers not knowing what he was riding into. Bikeman is one man's journey back to the horrors of that day and to the humanity that somehow emerged from the dust and the death. Both heartbreaking and haunting, his words will stay with you like that 'forever September morning.'" --Meredith Vieira, NBC's Today

"Tom Flynn brings to his subject three invaluable attributes: the eye of a seasoned journalist, the soul of a poet, and his stunning, first-hand experience of that horrific day.

Of course, when one thinks of epic poetry, one thinks of Homer and Dante - but Flynn reminds me more of Benet's American epic John Brown's Body. Thomas Flynn is doubtless no Stephen Vincent Benet, but he has a matter of fact, conversational style blended with the poet's soul that understands truth is much more than fact. I am anxious to read the entire poem.
