Overview

Evoking Walt Whitman and Allen Ginsberg, Martin Dickinson in I Am That Road: New and Selected Poems bears witness to the plight of the every (wo)man, especially those who are recent immigrants to the United States of America. In this drum-beating blueprint of the 21st Century, he documents the struggle to be: to be born, to survive, and, God knows how, to thrive. This is the book to take on a long journey, a silent retreat, your wind down each dark night. --Karren L. Alenier, author of How We Hold On. --Dickinson, Martin
