Others Will Enter the Gates

<p><span style=color: rgba(59 49 49 1)>Introduction by Kazim Ali. No two immigrant poets are the same. Even those from the same country don't necessarily answer to the same poetics or for that matter speak to the same concerns. How then do immigrant poets in America define themselves? How do they see and position themselves within the landscape of American poetry or the poetic traditions of their own country? Who might they consider their influences? Answers to these questions are complex individual and varied as seen with the essays included in this anthology.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(59 49 49 1)>Contributors: Zubair Ahmed Kazim Ali Abayomi Animashaun Lisa Birman Ewa Chrusciel Kwame Dawes Michael Dumanis Megan Fernandes Cristián Flores García Danielle Legros Georges Rigoberto González Maria Victoria A.
