The American Poet Who Went Home Again

Just like modern literary life, The American Poet Who Went Home Again expands beyond the safety of pages bound by predictability to explore and often confirm exciting creative possibilities. A shimmering collage of memoir, creative nonfiction, literary journalism, and dizzying flights into poetic observation, this is the amazing story of one writer?s rediscovery of his family, his hometown of Savannah, Georgia, and himself.

From the celebrated ?Return to Savannah? and the uncut extended version of ?This Mother?s Son,? to ?Journey through `Universes Beyond the Invisible? and ?The History that Peace Made,? the author takes his readers on epic jaunt across landscapes of ?the soul at work.? Whether dealing with the challenges of care giving and racism or coping with the subtleties of art and spirituality, this is one author-poet and one book that sings with the beauty of hope and the persistence of life itself.
