• Sommario/riassunto: Strong and thought-provoking, these poems examine themes such as aging, fatherhood, identity, and migration. From the Tehran of the poet's childhood through the Australian coast of his teenage years to the nations visited in his adulthood, this dynamic volume gives voice to the story of a young man and his experiences of discovery. Sharing the hopes of a struggling writer as he explores Australia, China, and the Middle East, this compilation offers a broadened perspective on different ways of life.
