How to Write an Earthquake

The first anthology regarding the 2010 Haitian earthquake to be published in English, French, and Creole and written entirely by Haitian poets, writers, and artists, this collection represents the fruit of 16 authors' efforts to pull words from the debris surrounding them. Though the authors vary in backgrounds--from Edwidge Danticat to Joël Lorquet--they were all brought together through tragedy on that fateful day. Now their stories serve as a reminder of the shock and pain, while providing a fresh perspective on the horrors and suffering that transpired both during and after the earthquake.
