Poetry. "These poems both about those who died in, and those who survived, the Tsunami of 2004 memorialize with anger and beauty one of the most devastating tragedies of our time. In its largeness of heart, bold artistry, and admirable desire to bear witness, Amirthanayagam's consoling, life-affirming and triumphant volume reminds me of Neruda's great Residence on Earth"--Jaime Manrique.
