Powerful rejection of the arrogance and inhumanity of discrimination and a celebration of the humanity that seeks to find common bonds even as we respect difference rather than let it be the cause of strife.

Such a powerful poem! She conveys a sense of the feelings of displacement and loss created by the arrogance and lack of understanding of so many toward others seeking a new life in a new country. I love “the cracks between the borders’ and its suggestions that national borders are after all humanly imposed separations.
