Reflecting the experiences of a rich and varied life, this collection of poems challenges traditional notions of form and combines intensely personal and multicultural themes. The elegies are political and unsentimental, and the historical poems imitate a painful Jewish childhood. The poet explores his growing love of England after growing up in America, offering observations about what it means to always be a bit uneasy at home.
