| dc.description.abstract | To Heaven is an exploration of lineage, race, language, identity, America and love. Often lyric, the poems use imaginative language to find new meanings and new ways to think about being variously, historically, and metaphysically situated. This is a manuscript that seeks to ask questions, rather than to answer them. What are the sources of our privilege, our power, our suffering? If we know that it’s impossible to completely transcend our links to these sources, how do we live with the desire to move beyond them? | |
