Aprašymas

This is an anthology of poems by outstanding poets of diverse backgrounds (age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexuality, etc.) from the U. S. and elsewhere in the world. While the timeliness of the theme would suggest that its purpose is political, it is only incidentally so.xnbsp; Actually, it has the same aim as psychoanalysis: catharsis through emotional understanding that can lead to transformative change.

Although many poets have written about their personal experience as immigrants and that of their parents and grandparents, no single book of poems captures the experience of a diversity of cultures.xnbsp; For this book we have gathered Israeli, Palestinian, African-American, Hungarian, German, Hispanic, Indian, Pakistani, Chinese, Japanese, Native American, Jewish, Christian, Muslim.xnbsp; The poems reveal a range of experiences, from welcoming to hostile.
