Named a Best Book of 2019 by the New York Public LibraryFinalist for the 2020 Lambda Literary Award in Lesbian PoetrySociety of Midland Authors Honoree in PoetryIn March 2011, a tsunami caused by an earthquake collided with nearby power plant Fukushima Daiichi, causing the only nuclear disaster in history to rival Chernobyl in scope. Those who stayed at the plant to stabilize the reactors, willing to sacrifice their lives, became known internationally as the Fukushima 50.In tsunami vs. the fukushima 50, Lee Ann Roripaugh takes a piercing, witty, and ferocious look into the heart of the disaster. Here we meet its survivors and victims, from a pearlcatcher to a mildmannered father to a drove of mindless pink robots. And here, too, we meet Roripaughs unforgettable Tsunami: a force of nature, femme fatale, and annihilatrix. Tsunami is part hero and part supervillainangry, loud, forcefully defending her rights as a living being in contemporary industrialized society. As humanity rebuilds in disasters wake, Tsunami continues to wreak her own havoc, battling humans selfappointed role as colonizer of Earth and its lifeforms.Shes an unsubtle thief / a giver of gifts, Roripaugh writes of Tsunami, who spits garbage from the Pacific back into nowpulverized Fukushima. As Tsunami makes visible her suffering, the wrath of nature scorned, humanity has the opportunity to reconsider the trauma they cause Earth and each other. But will they look?
