People talked about quake
brain, but the Canterbury
earthquakes, despite or
because of this, generated
amazing bursts of
creativity: music, dance,
astonishing street art;
and poetry.

148 poems from 87 poets:
here are sorrow,
resignation, defiance,
stoicism, humour black
and wry, and everything in
between.
