- A collection of poems revealing the transitory immigrant sensibility
of an Asian Indian woman living in the American Southwest, immersed
in the Spanish-speaking culture of the United States/Mexico border,
and always aware of the exile of her Parsi antecedents from Persia
to India 1200 years ago. Embodying the frustrations of immigration
and assimiliation, the poems are also about women's issues, such
as living with infertility and breast cancer. The harsh desert
landscape and the inability of its creatures to survive are the
naturalistic metaphors for the author's own struggles.
