The Heart of It

Personal heartbreak and public political trauma collide in this moving poetry compilation. While the poems struggle with sadness, a sense of acceptance transcends the pain as the poet explores a mixed heritage background. Sudden twists of anger and tragedy are tempered only by the poet's compassion, and the overall effect is both compelling and cathartic. Hauntingly compelling, this collection will appeal most to those interested in LGBT studies and diasporic literature.
