Guabancex

In September 2017, the Caribbean island of Dominica was struck by a category 5 storm, which is still regarded as the most severe hurricane on record there. Hurricane Maria tore through homes, communities and the land itself, leaving a changed world behind it. Guabancex is the first published poetry collection by Celia A. Sorhaindo.

The poems look at the wide range of feelings and experiences that came with the storm, both as it happened and in the long period that followed.
