Roy Mikis first poetry collection is a brilliant discourse which sounds the originary, unheard voices of family and community from the perspective of "sansei" or third-generation Japanese Canadians. These exquisitely balanced poems trace the fragility of ancestral bonds. Diamond-edged, they expose those subtle connections which tie the personal to a collective past scarred by the old wounds of internment and denied identity.
