Drowning in the Floating World

Drowning in the Floating World by Meg Eden immerses us into the Japanese natural disaster known as 3/11: the 2011 T?hoku earthquake and tsunami and subsequent Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Relentless as the disaster itself Eden seizes control of our deepest emotional centers and through insightful perspective holds us in consideration of loss helplessness upheaval and perhaps most stirring what do make of and do with survival. This poetry collection is also a cultural education sure to encourage further reading and research. Drowning in the Floating World is itself a tsunami stone--a warning beacon to remind us to learn from disaster and in doing so honor all that's lost.
