Synopsis

Beginning with the declaration, “Because I have listened to train whistles spell / longings in dusks of three continents // Because three seas pulsate in my blood, / three languages threaded through the heart’s amulet,” Ruth Traubner Kessler speaks authoritatively on behalf of “We, Immigrants,” those living in flux and often fear in the global everywhere and nowhere of The Country of Elsewheres. As a two-time immigrant writing – in her third language – poetry exploring memory, place, and displacement both literal and figurative, her work presents in rich and wrenching imagery the lived experience of those “who chose not to go back, / but never cease going back.” Rooted in common human experience, appealing for common human dignity, seldom has a work of poetry felt so timely, and so necessary. “On a new scroll, write in a / beginner's careful hand: / Tomorrow … Hope’s harbor for the unfisting heart.”
