"The poems demonstrate how a
magnitude of loss can release great sensitivity and awareness,
an opportunity for examinations, interpretations and
transformations in startlingly effective ways."

Originally inspired by the Asian tsunami, this project now
encompasses Katrina as well. This timely, sensitive collection
of poetry sends a message to survivors that help is on the way
and compels readers, who aren't experiencing such disasters, to
contribute to those who are in need.
In the Arms of Words: Poems
for Disaster Relief features 93 poems written by 94 poets of all
ages, religions, ancestry, education, who hail from Italy,
France, Norway, Spain, Canada, India, Africa, Serbia, and the
US. Poets include Diane di Prima, Bob Holman, Ellen Bass, Nick
Carbo, Marilyn Chin, Brett Axel and Lyn Lifshin. The proceeds
will benefit charitable organizations for both disasters.
