  Eugene Schlanger, known here simply as "The Wall Street Poet," was still dressed for his day job as deputy general counsel of Nomura Holding America Inc., the U.S. arm of the big Japanese securities firm. The 46- year-old onetime prosecutor looked bit timid before this audience of about 50 people, including many strangers clad in blue jeans and ball caps and a couple of his friends in suits. "Until you are part of a trading floor," Mr. Schlanger recited, hands in pockets, voice shaking slightly,
  ...
  But Mr. Schlanger, a former branch chief in the enforcement division of the New York regional office of the Securities and Exchange Commission, stands out: He is writing as an insider, garnering a loyal following of financial fans who see him as an eloquent spokesman for the soul of the securities business. The disaster-and its impact on those who work on Wall Street-dominate his recent poetry.
  ...
  "It captures some of the things that I couldn't say as well as Gene says it. I like the line, 'Witness to a world that a world cannot measure.' "
  ...
  A week after the attack, Mr. Schlanger wrote about trading volatility and stumbling into a bar, drinking heavily and mocking counter-parties. "Returning from the lavatory the agency/ Trader warned us, loudly, he had walked pretty/ Far. south last night and the sky was bright/ With death and excavation in the distance."
  
  Mr. Schlanger, who majored in English at the State University of New York at Stony Brook before getting his law degree at St. John's University, wrote his first poem while attending Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan. Now, he writes at home in Suffern, a leafy New York City suburb, or scribbles during inspired moments at work, composing. poems such as "The Wealth of Nations," which reads in part:

  Mr. Schlanger says he'll likely wind up publishing a pricey limited collection and "try to sell it to guys who make seven figures. He would donate profits to victims of the attack. The sonnets include "Unaccounted," about his search for a former employee in operations on Nomura's derivatives desk. He says that colleagues would be surprised to know that he was even aware of someone so far down the totem pole. But the employee had come to one of his readings. In the end, rank no longer mattered:

  Eugene Schlanger's thoughts carry no more weight than anyone else's.But their lyricism is unmistakable, agree with them or not. More from the New York Times
  
  Mr. Schlanger, 47, is a Wall Street lawyer.He is also a writer of poetry since his days at Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan.After the memorial jury narrowed the competition to a few finalists, a disquiet came upon him.So he did what for him is second nature.He took out his fountain pen and paper.
  ...
  "I thought I was a mouthpiece for what people were thinking," said Mr. Schlanger, who though he writes in longhand, distributes his work by e-mail.He estimates that he has 300 regular readers.The reaction has been positive, he said, with people offering comments like, "I was feeling the same way, but couldn't articulate it."
  ...
  It has been modified since Mr. Schlanger wrote his criticism.
  ...
  But Mr. Schlanger was right there when disaster struck, and still is.He writes, if you will, from the trenches.His uniform is a business suit, a gold pen tucked in the breast pocket of his shirt.
  ...
  "To be a lawyer," Mr. Schlanger said, "you've got to have, if not love, then at least respect for language."
  
  He likes dealing with classical themes, from ancient Athens to Plutarch.He also writes admiringly about the financial world, finding lyrical gold in its language, even while recognizing that it might bounce dully off the untutored ears of those who are not part of that tribe.
  
  "How many people read poetry at all?"he said.
  ...
  In "Porters and Promoters," written a few months after Sept. 11, Mr. Schlanger began: "This death was an egalitarian act/Uniting porters and promoters, the rich/And the illiterate, cops and fire chiefs,/In a wealthy smoldering tangled mass."
  
  The defiant fist that he raised at the end might appeal to many New Yorkers:
