1 post | 1 to read

A multicultural array of poets explore what it is means to be American This powerful and moving collection of poems stretches across the boundaries of skin color, language, ethnicity, and religion to give voice to the lives and experiences of ethnic Americans. With extraordinary honesty, dignity, and insight, these poems address common themes of assimilation, communication, and self-perception. In recording everyday life in our many American cultures, they displace the myths and stereotypes that pervade our culture. Unsettling America includes work by: Amiri Baraka Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni Rita Dove Louise Erdich Jessica Hagedorn Joy Harjo Garrett Hongo Li-Young Lee Pat Mora Naomi Shihab Nye Marye Percy Ishmael Reed Alberto Rios Ntozake Shange Gary Soto Lawrence Ferlinghetti Nellie Wong David Hernandez Mary TallMountain ...and many more.

Unsettling America: An Anthology of Contemporary Multicultural Poetry | Maria Mazziotti Gillan, Jennifer Gillan

I haven‘t finished a book in a few weeks, but today I‘m celebrating my ever growing currently reading stack. I‘ve posted a bunch about the White essays and Walden which have taken a backseat to some library volumes. A common theme of some in this stack is refugee, migrant, and immigrant experiences. Tin Flute has been my melancholy bedtime reading, and People Change is my pick for the LGBTQ+ book club I‘m facilitating next week. Huzzah!
