Grace

by Pietro Costa

Poetry. Art. GRACE is a visual and literary tribute chronicling the creative impact of September 11th upon three artists as they struggle to move forward with their lives and work. Conceived by installation artist Pietro Costa, the book is a bilingual (English / Italian) collection of several artistic components: the story of how a sculpture changed into an interactive memorial, narrated by Rebecca Metzger; a conversation among three friends-Costa, photographer Cedric N. Chatterley, and poet Denver Butson, edited by Lela Nargi; photographs of GRACE, Costa's sculpture of the same name, and the public's interaction with it in its two US venues, shot by Chatterly; and the stirring poetry of Butson. A haunting collection, this unique publication is both emotionally reflective and restorative.
