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.
