Publisher Description: Contributors to Ink Knows No Borders ELIZABETH ACEVEDO SAMIRA AHMED KAVEH AKBAR EAVAN BOLAND CHEN CHEN SAFIA ELHILLO MART N ESPADA CARLOS ANDR S G MEZ JOSEPH O. LEGASPI ADA LIM N EMTITHAL MAHMOUD BAO PHI ALBERTO R OS ERIKA L. S NCHEZ GARY SOTO CHRYSANTHEMUM TRAN OCEAN VUONG JAVIER ZAMORA . . . and many others. This collection of sixty-four poems by poets who come from all over the world shares the experience of first- and second-generation young adult immigrants and refugees. Whether it's cultural and language differences, homesickness, social exclusion, racism, stereotyping, or questions of identity, the Dreamers, immigrants, and refugee poets included here encourage readers to honor their roots as well as explore new paths, offering empathy and hope. Many of the struggles described are faced by young people everywhere: isolation, self-doubt, confusion, and emotional dislocation. But also joy, discovery, safety, and family. This is a hopeful, beautiful, and meaningful book for any reader. |
