This is by far the best event-inspired or subject-inspired anthology of poetry that I've come across. Each poem deserves to be read and reread, and carries a unique and touching perspective on the 2004 tsunami. For any lovers of poetry or the ocean, readers who want new authors, or readers who might be interested and reading more about what happened in 2004, this is a worthwhile and beautifully written work. When I've taught the text, even students who don't generally like poetry find works to appreciate here--it's eclectic, touching, and intelligent throughout. I can't recommend it highly enough. ( )
