Publisher Description:
Poetry. I WANT THIS WORLD explores what it means to be human and in danger across many landscapes: the costs of WWII to family-forced labor in Siberia, the Italian Campaign, prison camp in Murmansk, as a hostage in Africa, and in the muddied politics in the Rio Grande Valley. "Szumowski's poems are as real and satisfying as the potatoes she praises, 'the white church/of their insides, melted butter anointing them.' Her true subject is human dignity, from Poland to the Congo.A long-anticipated and impressive debut collection"-Martin Espada.
