More Than What Happened: The Aftermath of Gun Violence is an
anthology of voices in Miami, Florida speaking to their experiences of
the contemporary plague that is gun violence in America.

In poems, photographs, interviews, portraits, illustrations, and one sermon, Miamians talk about how they survive, grieve, and process the loss of children, parents, and friends. This book is the story of how people love each other; how communities heal and form support groups with little resources; and how school-age kids are impacted by gun violence.
