Set against the backdrop of the historic flooding of the Mississippi River, this is an extraordinary tale of murder and moonshine, sandbagging and saboteurs, and a man and woman who find unexpected love. Written by an acclaimed author and an award-winning poet, The Tilted World is that rarest of creations, a story of seemingly ordinary people who find hope and deliverance where they least expect it -- in each other.

"In this wide-ranging collection of essays, stories, graphic memoir, and cross-genre work, writers explore the deeply human act of kissing." -- From book jacket.
