In a tremendous effort to come to terms with a natural disaster that erased the lives of hundreds of thousands, and affected the whole world, we present a deeply moving collection f poems by a distinguished group of poets from across the world. Encompassing themes of grief, shock, disbelief and the painful process of healing, Only the Sea Keeps is a beautiful example of the ability of art to address tragedy. The proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the international relief organization working with tsunami victims/survivors.
