The first anthology regarding the 2010 Haitian earthquake to be
published in English, French, and Creole and written entirely by Haitian
poets, writers, and artists, this collection represents the fruit of 16
authors' efforts to pull words from the debris surrounding them. Though
the authors vary in backgrounds--from Edwidge Danticat to Joel
Lorquet--they were all brought together through tragedy on that fateful
day. Now their stories serve as a reminder of the shock and pain, while
providing a fresh perspective on the horrors and suffering that
transpired both during and after the earthquake.
