This generous anthology pairs fifty illuminating poems with poet and podcast host P疆raig ﾓ Tuama's appealing, unhurried reflections. With keen insight and warm personal anecdotes, ﾓ Tuama considers each poem's artistry and explores how its meaning can reach into our own lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing mainly on poets writing today, ﾓ Tuama engages with a diverse array of voices that includes Ada Lim, Ilya Kaminsky, Margaret Atwood, Ocean Vuong, Layli Long Soldier, and Reginald Dwayne Betts. Natasha Trethewey meditates on miscegenation and Mississippi; Raymond Antrobus makes poetry out of the questions shot at him by an immigration officer; Mart匤 Espada mourns his father; Marie Howe remembers and blesses her mother's body; Aimee Nezhukumatathil offers comfort to her child-self. Through these wide-ranging poems, ﾓ Tuama guides us on an inspiring journey to reckon with self-acceptance, history, independence, parenthood, identity, joy, and resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who has wanted to try their hand at a conversation with poetry but doesn't know where to start, \u003cem\u003ePoetry Unbound\u003c\/em\u003e presents a window through which to celebrate the art of being alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e P疆raig ﾓ.
