Amazon.com description: Product Description: Transantlantic blends the temporality of travel, memory and place with the disjunctures of postmodern life. Be it images from the racially segregated American South, the haunting now baroque histories of Paris or Barcelona, or the urban tragedies of New York at the end of the 20th century, these meditative poems evoke the passionate landscapes of a life carefully observed. Crossing many borders and many sensibilities, the poems bear the imprint of the varied feelings, origins and fictions that give us passage through our world, the somewhat startling if not breathtaking destination that is desire.
