Diaspora constitutes a powerful descriptor for the modern condition
of the contemporary poet, the spokesperson for the psyche of
America. The poems in American Diaspora: Poetry of Displacement
focus on the struggles and pleasures of creating a home -- physical
and mental -- out of displacement, exile, migration, and
alienation.
To fully explore the concept of diaspora, the editors have
broadened the scope of their definition to include not only the
physical act of moving and immigration but also the spiritual and
emotional dislocations that can occur -- as for Emily Dickinson and
other poets -- even in a life spent entirely in one location.
More than one hundred and thirty contemporary poets reflect and
meditate, rage and bless, as they tell their own stories. In short,
this is an anthology of American poetry that draws upon the
sensitivity, tenderness, rebelliousness, patience, and spirituality
that point to the future of our nation.
