Without falling into jingoism or being over-sentimental‚ Robert Pinsky’s poem "9/11" generates a commendable ode to the spirit that drives this country‚ in addition to revealing the American culture for what it truly is enthusiastic and frivolous‚ courageous and fallible‚ petty and resilient. For most Americans‚ September 10th is Before‚ and everything since is After.
