Seashell Echoes is a poetry collection written in memory of Anthony Menzel's grandmother Minna. A stateless refugee following World War II, Minna immigrated to the United States with two children and three dollars in her pocket. The author believes her story will be an inspiration to those who read about her. Throughout Seashell Echoes, the author also shifts between despair and joy, resulting in a reading experience that is both moving and full of hope.
