NOTES: |
Craig Santos Perez, a native Chamoru from the Pacific Island of Gua°han (Guam), has lived for two decades away from his homeland. This new collection maps the emotional and geographic cartographies of his various migrations, departures, and arrivals. Through a variety of poetic forms, the poet highlights the importance of origins and customs amidst new American cultures and terrains. Furthermore, this book draws attention to, and protests, the violent currents of colonialism and militarism currently threatening Gua°han, a "strategic" US territory since 1898. |
