Summary "Water & Salt sings in the voices of people ravaged by cycles of war and news coverage. These poems alternately rage, laugh, celebrate and grieve. "Before we were victims, we were beloveds" these poems insist, as they invite the reader to see the human lives lived beyond the headlines"-- Provided by publisher.
