Washing The Color Of Water Golden

washing.jpg

February 2006: Washing the Color of Water Golden: A Katrina Hurricane Anthology edited by C. E. Laine. ISBN: 1-933242-24-8.

The fallout of hurricanes Katrina and Rita have left most of us shaking with a new awareness about devastation, poverty, and how fleeting life can be. Those in the storm's path were hit hardest. Those with attachments to the regions affected, and ties to loved ones in those areas, are also deeply affected. Those sheltering evacuees in cities and towns across our nation are certainly affected. Each person watching the news reports is changed forever by what they've seen. This disaster has opened our collective eyes to many things; ripped the lid of lots of churning emotions. This book of poems is about disaster and poverty. It is about the texture of the Deep South. It is about observations and nuances, loving and losing, hopelessness and triumph. It is a collection of impressions we need to remember, because forgetting would be like an unmarked grave.

Washing the Color of Water Golden is a book that begins with Hurricane Katrina and ends, if it ends at all, in a new New Orleans, braver, smarter, and stronger for having gone through a terrible tragedy. Featured In Washing the Color of Water Golden, are fifty-five poets who were in various places when Katrina and Rita hit, and whose clarity of vision challenge us to repair our psyches, our national response plans, and our southern states.

Contirbutors include: Daniel Arsyn, Kelvin Bueckert, Mike Burch, Ginger Bush, Mike Cavanagh, Patricia Cresswell,Darin Cox, karyne de contreras, Echoes Ezzrai,John Gagnon, Linda Gayton, Michael Graber,Christine Hamm, T.S. Kerrigan, Kathy Kubik, Terry Lowenstein, Prasenjit Maiti, Yvette Merton,Corey Mesler, Alex Nodopaka, Kyle Richtig,Don Schaeffer, Trish Shields, Durlabh Singh,Monica Ellen Smith, Cheryl Snell with art by Janet Snell, Dan Stafford, Nikki Stewart,Brigit Truex, Lisa Zaran

Proceeds from the Sale of this book will will go toward Katrina Hurricane Relief and will benefit the surviors.
