Great Regulars: In the midst of heartache, Haitians have

always created great art--music, paintings, stories--so I considered myself privileged to be working on a project like Haiti Noir during such a difficult time. I felt joyful working on the project because it felt as though we were rebuilding a world, albeit a sinister one. We don't always have to create pretty pictures around Haiti, but we are obligated to reflect or create fully realized human beings and that's what our seventeen fiction writers did.
