The American Poet Who Went Home Again
A Mosaic of My Soul at Work
by Aberjhani
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.

Work Description
The American Poet Who Went Home Again is a very modern book but has drawn comparison to playwright Lillian Hellman’s classic memoir, Pentimento, and like that book it contains both illuminated self portraits and striking objective subject works. Internet book product pages point out that readers who enjoyed The American Poet Who Went Home Again were the same ones inclined to pick up such titles as Ron Hall’s Same Kind of Different as Me, Immaculee Ilibagiza’s Left to Tell, and Tony Dungee’s Quiet Strength, all of portray individuals coming to terms with challenging environments and circumstances.
The book’s subtitle, which is on the inside but not the outside cover, is “A mosaic of my soul at work,” and just might be the best overall description of the book.
