Description

Young, hip, and smart, Donna Stoneciphers narrative poems spin tales of travelers more cosmopolitan than the cosmos itself, inviting its readers to add their imaginations to the stories she sketches, exploring the differences between expatriates and immigrants and addressing the consequences of globalization. This collection represents a significant advancement for the prose poem and, as a National Poetry Series winner, should receive considerable national attention.
