Critiques en avant-première

The Treasures That Prevail is about climate change and its effects on Miami. The poems confront the ills of modern society in general, mourn both public and personal losses, and predict the difficulties of a post-modern life in a flooded, Atlantis-like lost city. The narrators are two unnamed women, married with a teenage daughter and a teenage son, who live in a part of Miami that will be underwater unless action is taken. Titled from Adrienne Rich's poem "Diving into the Wreck," The Treasures That Prevail is a parable about what could happen to any of our low-lying coastal cities if we don't start to make changes now. Winners will receive bound galleys.
