Hurricane Blues: Poems About Katrina and Rita
Philip C. Kolin & Susan Swartwout
Publication: 2006
Pages: 184
Hurricane Blues is a unique artifact of American history: an anthology of original poems about the two most infamous hurricanes of 2005. Many of these poems are eyewitness accounts—written by both distinguished and emerging poets, all of whom were moved by the destruction of a legendary American city and the roughly 300-mile radius within Katrina’s wrath.
This collection not only records history but serves in some way as a balm, a relief effort toward the inevitable reconstruction of the region. Accordingly, all proceeds from Hurricane Blues will go toward the relief effort.
This is poetry as bread, cast upon the surface of the waters.
