Winner 2017 Benjamin Franklin GOLD AWARD for POETRY.
Winner 2017 MONTAIGNE MEDAL for most thought-provoking books.
Major tour de force traces arc of one of millions of American immigrant families, survivors of WWII.
Raw, eloquent, nuanced, intimate--illuminates the many faces of war, toll taken on innocent civilians, how trauma echoes down through generations.
Narrative structure mirrors fractured dislocation experienced by war refugees, with haunting collage of jagged fragments--poems, prose and prose poems, frozen moments of time, sometimes dreamlike and surreal, other times realistic and graphic.
