Rising From the Ashes: Our Stories of Lahaina - A Poetry Collection

By Vashti Daise, Safirah Ladore, Abby Rogers

All of the poets and artists featured in this book are from Lahaina, several of whom were displaced by the Lahaina wildfires...several of whom have experienced incredible loss...Loved ones, houses, jobs, pets, belongings...lost, but all of whom have felt the shock and pain of losing their town and witnessed firsthand the devastation, sorrow and lingering after effects of this cataclysmic event. Saying farewell to dear friends as they move away for lack of housing and income... Having to drive on the one road connecting both sides of the island... past the apocalyptic scenes of rubble and scorched trees...Worrying about the toxic ash contaminating the air, soil and water...Worrying about their future here...There are so many reasons to feel grief and fear...and yet you will feel the power of their optimism and strength in the lines they have written and images they have created.
