Items related to American Diaspora: Poetry of Displacement
Diaspora constitutes a powerful descriptor for the modern condition of the contemporary poet, the spokesperson for the psyche of America. The poems in American Diaspora: Poetry of Displacement focus on the struggles and pleasures of creating a home-physical and mental-out of displacement, exile, migration, and alienation.
To fully explore the concept of diaspora, the editors have broadened the scope of their definition to include not only the physical act of moving and immigration but also the spiritual and emotional dislocations that can occur-as for Emily Dickinson and other poets-even in a life spent entirely in one location.

From Publishers Weekly:
"We fell in love with both the word and the idea of diaspora because it has a raspiness to it," write editors Virgil Su rez (In the Republic of Longing) and Ryan G. Van Cleave (Say Hello) in introducing American Diaspora: Poetry of Displacement. In 130 narratives, poets better- (Toi Derricotte, Albert Goldbarth, Sherod Santos, Brenda Hillman) and lesser-known "seek the way home."
