From the Bahamas, London, and Cairo, to Minnesota and Georgia—and from the intimate messages of the heart to the global immigration of African Americans—these poems explore with urgency the relationships among travel, alienation, and home. Part shadowbox, part map, part travelogue-in-verse, this collection is poignant, elegant, and deeply moving.
