Description
Poetry. "The poems in OUTSIDE FROM THE INSIDE were suggested by my studies of anatomy and ancient Jewish texts, the legacies of loved ones, the lives of animals and the cycle of the seasons, my family life of past and present, and testimonies of others, named and nameless, that have entered my heart. The title of the collection comes from a letter written by Isamu Noguchi to Man Ray from the Poston War Relocation Center in 1942, and the title poem speaks to his experience when he was interned there as a Japanese-American. OUTSIDE FROM THE INSIDE also suggests the body as witness and the world as conceived by the self. Between this idealism and the pressures of the historical moments our lives encompass are myriad variations of experience, thought, and feeling which my poems seek to express."—Anne Whitehouse
