Impulse Toward Flight

Meer over het boek

Exploring themes of identity and memory, this poetry collection weaves together personal and communal histories. The author reflects on how individuals are influenced by their surroundings, addressing past losses of people and places. The poems evoke the pre-World War II landscape of a New York City ethnic enclave and the wartime urban experience in The Bronx. Additionally, the collection touches on the internment of Japanese-Americans, particularly highlighting the author's connection to Minidoka, where her husband's family was held during that period.
