the american poet who went home again said:

“The American Poet Who Went Home Again is a book of creative nonfiction that blends memoir, literary journalism, history, and biography to tell the story of one writer’s rediscovery of his family, his hometown of Savannah, Georgia, and himself. It is composed of four sections containing collectively 20 chapters and 3 introductory poems for a total of 309 unforgettable pages. One of the most amazing features of this book is the author's willingness to share his pages with several guest writers and to focus some of his own writings on major figures in his community rather than just himself. A great read.”
