<p>'Beyond Katrina' is poet Natasha Trethewey&#39;s very personal profile of her natal Mississippi Gulf Coast and of the people there whose lives were forever changed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.</p><p>Trethewey&#39;s attempt to understand and document the damage to Gulfport started as a series of lectures at the University of Virginia that were subsequently published as essays in the 'Virginia Quarterly Review.' For 'Beyond Katrina,' Trethewey expanded this work into a narrative that incorporates personal letters, poems, and photographs, offering a moving meditation on the love she holds for her childhood home. In this new edition, Trethewey looks back on the ten years that have passed since Katrina in a new epilogue, outlining progress that has been made and the challenges that still exist.</p><p>A Sarah Mills Hodge Fund Publication.</p>
