What a gift!” - Garrett Sampson, long-time ELOGOS reader. |

Deb Grant’s collection of poetry is a genuine first-hand experience of someone who is not only a disaster survivor, but someone who stands in the gap between devastation and survival for those impacted. Her realistic and sometimes raw interpretation of the disaster experience has the ability to bring you to the “place” where survivors are, through words that can engage your senses and create sights, sounds, and even the smells of what that experience brings. This collection will be a lesson for those wanting to help, a kindred space for those who do the work, and a resource for those still healing to know they are not alone.
