Book Description
Phil Grabsky uses Mario Petrucci's award-winning poem Heavy Water, to tell the story of the Chernobyl nuclear explosion and its catastrophic aftermath. On April 26th, 1986, reactor four at Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant explodes, sending an enormous radioactive cloud over northern Ukraine and neighboring Belarus. The danger is not immediately communicated and the local population go about their business as usual. May Day celebrations begin, children play, and the residents of Pripyat, the town built to house the workers at Chernobyl, marvel at the spectacular fire raging at the reactor. After three days, an area the size of England becomes contaminated with radioactive dust, creating a 'zone' of contaminated land. This is the story of the people who dealt with the world's worst nuclear disaster at ground level: the fire-fighters, the soldiers, the 'liquidators' and their families. .

Book Description
This book-length poem pays tribute to the courage and humour displayed, in suffering, by the people of Chernobyl following the events of April 1986. Each segment paints an intimate picture: some elements of everyday life remain unchanged, others are profoundly altered. The collection's recurring motifs of black and white signal how all are silenced, reduced to anonymity - which in turn engenders fierce solidarity. Meanwhile, men and machines toil side by side to tackle the insurmountable. Petrucci's use of scientific and medical terminology makes his descriptions chillingly precise. In contrast, we hear, from a deeply personal angle, the simply expressed accounts of real people who struggle to cope with the enormity of the disaster. These poems are at once deeply shocking yet pervaded by an uplifting beauty. Throughout the collection emphasis is placed on the importance of human dignity and compassion, on the simple persistence of nature in the context of unspeakable destruction.
