Only The Sea Keeps: Poetry Of The Tsunami, collaboratively edited by Judith R. Robinson, Joan E. Bauer and Sankar Roy, is a collection of poetry inspired by the tragedy and sorrow caused by the tsunami worldwide. Deeply moving and intimate, Only The Sea Keeps gives the reader the gift of knowing, feeling and becoming a part of the tragedy. Faithfully recommended for all who feel the repercussions of the tsunami's strike. Sonnet After The Tsunami: Oh the sea will return and sing out/our names from the leagues below;/claim its face here--/nose to the horizon,/its lips of mud,/foaming eyes.//Pa and Ma are in the heavens./They re safe. Neighbors and/animals gone,/birds so quiet what's speech/for? A throaty sound of this/one pebble on the beach.//Roll it again,/roll.--Alamgir Hashmi
