Please watch my interview with Elizabeth Rush, author of RISING, about how Staten Islanders negotiated a managed retreat from their homes after #HurricaneSandy but also poetry, birds, sexual harassment, birth strikers, glaciers, music, trees, and so much more.
Seven years ago today, #hurricanesandy hit #StatenIsland and I spoke with @ElizabethaRush about how residents adapted after the storm, about coastal wetlands, rising sea levels, glaciers, poetry, and so much more
