After the Hurricane

Intensely aware of the earth's threatened environment and its cultural turmoil, this new collection of poems recalls Minhinnick's travels through Canada, Iraq, Brazil, America, and his native Wales. This verse ventures through the historically hidden, employing images of archaeology, mining, geology, and the author's own complex biography to uncover what might be reclaimed. Minhinnick's is a major, rising voice-one that is attuned to the human diversity that at once graces and threatens the planet.
