Poetry. Sixteen poems that reveal the poet's adjustment to being an American living and working in Japan, his doubts, frustrations, joys, and the triumph of love and family: "...children sleeping soundly, / their faces turned toward the light / that travels through the universe / to be with us so perfectly confused."

"Dunne's HOME TEST turns troubling questions often about what constitutes home into beautiful, palpable objects of soulful attention and affection. The poet knows the way into our hearts is to pit the small and intimate against the enormous and ominous. The poems shimmer. His steely-eyed toughness only undergirds the poems true tenderness."—Nance Van Winckel
