Sturge Town by Kwame Dawes
Sturge Town is a stunning collection of poems that connects with the roots of childhood to the reflections of a man turned witnessing his adult children occupying the space he once considered his own. Sturge Town is both an actual place, and a place of myth and a metaphor that parallels a journeying through time.A richly intelligent, deeply descriptive exploration of home and identity.. this personal odyssey becomes a universal journey.
