Their first release on Trustkill Records gave them a name as being arguably one of the most influential bands in metalcore today. When you take their newest effort, Tear From the Red for what it is and what it sounds like, separate from their prior works, you will see first hand just what PTW is m.r about now; not last year, not five years ago. It is crazy in some ways to say that they would change at all thing after and serenity shows its true form in Tear From The Red.

MONDAY, MARCH 4, 2002 C.K., Galway and Me: Poetry at the 92nd Street Y Anytime there is a reading at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan you know you're in for a good time. It is by far one of the most famous places to listen to a poetry reading and Monday, February 25th was no exception. Not one, but two Pulitzer Prize-winning poets read their works, C.K. Williams and Galway Kinnell. As an added surprise, poet and NYU Professor Sharon Olds took care of the introductions. I admit that seeing Williams was my main rea- son for attending, but I walked away very impressed by Kinnell as well. John Findura I have been a fan of Williams' work for sometime. lit Editor His mid-90's collection Tile Vigil earned a Pulitzer nomina- tion and his effort Repair walked away with the prize in 2000. Last week I was able to briefly interview the Newark-born poet and current Professor of Creative Writing at Princeton, but this was the first rime I saw him read. I was very inter- ested because he is known for his irregularly long lines with little punctuation and I won- dered how he would go about reading them. Well, he read rather quickly. It was almost like a race to the end of each poem, but because of the way they are written I can't see how they could be read otherwise. He even stated that he didn't know why he was reading poems that were so difficult.

I have a tendency to let my mind wander when poets read too fast but Williams held my attention. I'm not sure if it was the tone of his voice or just his sheer presence on the stage (he must be at least 6' 5", if not taller). The thing that struck me is that he was both funnier and more serious than I thought he would be. There was a definite "truth" in each poem; a Thorain Jordan, who most people wlhave you, so I sympathized with deeply held belief in what he was saying and why he was saying it.
