When her Florida apartment is damaged by the ferocity of Hurricane
Irma, Duhamel turns to Dante and terza rima, reconstructing the
form into the long poem "Terza Irma." Throughout the book she
investigates our near-catastrophic ecological and political moment,
hyperaware of her own complicity, resistance, and agency. She
writes odes to her favorite uncle - who was "green" before it was a
hashtag - and Mother Nature via a retro margarine commercial. She
writes letters to her failing memory as well as to America's
amnesia. With fear of the water below and a burglar who enters
through her second story window, she bravely faces the story under
the story, the second story we often neglect to tell.
