Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"Judith Arcana’s 4th Period English is so wonderful, I feel privileged to have read it, and I wish it were part of every curriculum starting right now...This is absolutely terrific writing." — Alicia Ostriker

Review:

"These poems are amazing. Inside that strange, raw intersection where immigration and Americanism meet, Judith Arcana’s new collection brings to life a whole population in a typical American high school." — Diana Rico

Review:

"Judith Arcana’s polyphonic collection is a labor of love and compassion...She makes her readers painfully aware of the ways our young people struggle between and among the myriad borders of this world." — Alicia Partnoy

Description:

This chapbook is a collection of poems about immigration and the always-related themes of racism, ethnicity, nation and borders. The characters are high school students in the USA, talking (and arguing) about these issues in their own lives.
