Why is it important?

My ethnographic poetry explicates the real conditions of refugees in refugee camps in Sicily--it explicates a particular experience that most people are not privy to.

Perspectives

This poem was written after spending many hours with a young Sengalese man in the camps. He was scared, but tried very hard to be strong.
