Change of territory

Change of Territory is a first book of poems that covers much ground in historical and personal experiences through the language of exile and return and a search for love and selfhood. The poems move from the sharecropping South to sights in the North that "catch your eyes / and never give them back," from the hilly streets of Montmartre in Paris to the disturbing interior of a slave house on the island of Gorée in Senegal, from family separation to the uncertainty of reconciliation in the return home.
