Both reverent and daring, this verse interrogates religion, race, class, family, and sexuality. Written as a call to action, the collection pulls together prayer, popular culture, and technology to tell a twenty-first-century migrant story.\n\nMigrant Psalms gives us a rare look inside a Panamanian experience of migration, describing the harsh realities of mothers, children, and teens who entered the United Statesor tried to do so. Holness poems find the universal through specificity; their exploration of expatriation, assimilation, and naturalization transcends the authors personal experience to speak to what it means?
