Family, religion and community can all empower people to rise above their current standings, but these stories explore what happens when the dynamic moves in the other direction. At what point does individual desire trump safety and surety?" --Abstract.

Spitting ink, 2017

 Item
Identifier: cw_2017spring_shaban_dean.pdf

These poems address and grapple with that concern." --Abstract.
