Sinossi

This poetry collection is the record of an American&;s return home after a decade abroad, an exile imposed solely because he loved another man. In a virtuoso display of lyric and formal inventiveness, Bellin-Oka&;s poems meditate on the myriad losses engendered by diaspora: of home, family and sexual identity, and spiritual certainty.

&;Steve Bellin-Oka&;s poems hold in balance an intensified language and a passionate voice that bring together the struggles of the inner life with stark realities. This is a book of arresting authenticity.&;&;Peter Balakian, Pulitzer-Prize winner and judge


From &;Self-Portrait as the Chosen One&;

Long before I was what I am now, short

of breath, bald, just returned with arthritic knees

from exile in another country&;s muck and red

volcanic soil, too near-sighted to discern

the High Plains tumbleweed from the burning

bush of myth, scorched now and silent,

long before this, I was the first son my mother bore

that lived.
