Synopsis

A unique resource and captivating collection of poetry, drama, fiction, non-fiction, and scientific articles - enhanced with colorful photographs and images - providing storied experiences and critical questions about climate issues, hazards, and disasters, especially hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanoes in the Caribbean.

This important contribution to the fertile ground of Caribbean literature enables the reader to view the common thread of disaster from these multiple perspectives and may inspire others to create their own unique accounts of facing disaster and engaging in the process of rebuilding.

Disasters do matter, and this superb collection of notes and quotes, questions, poems, and stories from across the Caribbean is a testament to the intensity of human reactions to these life changing events. This literary anthology will enrich the disasters' literature and help engage young people in a topic of personal and professional importance.
