Stray not only captures the essence of identity but also eloquently articulates the pain of displacement and speaks to the vulnerability of Africans who have left their native continent. This collection delicately examines the theme of migration--migration in a literal, geographic sense; migration of language from one lexicon to another; migration of a poem toward prose--and the instability of the creative experience in the broader sense."--Back cover. 505 00 $t In the throat of the heaven's guide. $t All the merry hills -- $t In the name of the tongue -- $t In the name of the father -- $t Holy ghost -- $t Catechism -- $t Ota Benga returns to Congo -- $t You don't want the light to find out what you've done -- $t Diallo -- $t We must return -- $t The last time I saw Annamore Tsonge -- $t Preamble to fever -- $t The cunning -- $t It came to pass -- $t A town on the frontier -- $t Feasts for the blind -- $t Farther inland -- $t Far country -- $t My der Menshevik -- $t As a moonflower curious of the night -- $t A hunger -- $t The city -- $t Preamble to In the case regarding my brother -- $t Requiem: in the case regarding my brother -- $t Mugarandega -- $t In the throat of the heaven's guide. 586 $a Sillerman First Book Prize For American Poets, 2017. 650 0 $a Identity (Psychology) $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Zimbabweans $z United States $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Families $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Masculinity $v Poetry. 650 0 $a Zimbabwean poetry (English) $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Zimbabwean poetry $y 21st century. 700 1 $a Dawes, Kwame Senu Neville, $d 1962- $e writer of foreword. 830 0 $a African poetry book series. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20180905045930.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=933B453E961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
