Desert Sunflowers is a work of broad vision, bold in both imagination and execution. At its core, there's a restlessness- a study of migration and a negotiation between place and notions of identity and self, but beyond that so much more. A beautifully balanced sense of the ominous; nods in the directions of magic realism and surreal narrative; a versatility in form and technique- never a dull line-ending. "[Here is poetry] of formal versatility and range, boldness and adeptness in style, technical dexterity and mastery, and expression of conceptual and emotional complexity." - Lauri Ramey "This is a work which goes beyond questions of exile and belonging, and speaks to a new identity as a member of a global network; a chameleon-like existence." - Nathalie Teitler
