Two years after Hurricane Maria hit, Puerto Ricans are still
reeling from its effects and aftereffects. Aftershocks collects
poems, essays and photos from survivors of Hurricane Maria
detailing their determination to persevere. The concept of
"aftershocks" is used in the context of earthquakes to describe the
jolts felt after the initial quake, but no disaster is a singular
event. Aftershocks of Disaster examines the lasting effects of
hurricane Maria, not just the effects of the wind or the rain, but
delving into what followed: state failure, social abandonment,
capitalization on human misery, and the collective trauma produced
by the botched response.
