Sinopsis
Raven’s Vol. 24 issue, the theme is HOME. This book has 68 writers and 14 artist/illustrators from 21 states and 3 countries (India, Nigeria, Canada). We asked writers and visual artists to think about and address the following: The world is in the midst of the largest migration of people since World War II. Due to war and political oppression, many of them will never return to their homelands. Others, like Native Americans in the Americas, have watched as wave after wave of newcomers have come into their land and claimed it as their own. The United States attracts people from all over the world to use as labor, but then denies them a legal opportunity to establish homes and raise families. Is home a place or a dream of sanctuary? A tarp, bedroll or car parked on the side of the freeway? A ranch you inherited? People you love? A state of mind? An elusive definition of space or location that only the privileged can afford to claim? Describe your home (whatever and wherever it may be) and the things that make it home for you. In Aleppo, “Abu Hussein, a man in his 50s, was remarkably cheerful as he stood with his wife Umm Hussein and looked down from their balcony on to the rubble that makes his street impassable for any vehicle. ‘Nothing is better or more beautiful than our home,’ he said. ‘It’s the place to be in good times or in bad.’ ” Writers in Vol. 24 include: Anita Endrezze, T. Clear, Diane Glancy, Maiah Merino, Mark Trechock, Jim Cantu, Michael Dylan Welch, Inye Wokoma, Soonest Nathaniel, Dianne Aprile, Luther Allen, Chy Clayton, Minnie Collins, Larry Crist, Maria de Los Angeles, Risa Denenberg, Elizabeth Burnam, Michele Bombardier, Sharon Hashimoto, Thomas Hubbard, Tom Hunley, Kate Miller, John Olson, Kevin Miller, J.R. Robinson, Frank Rossini.
