Manual for Emigrants Fraser Sutherland

In this poetry collection, the myriad aspects of exile and belonging are explored in ways both witty and moving. The voices of the outsider and the voices of those who believe they belong are juxtaposed in an impassioned dialogue that resists conclusion. The poems take on a presence of mind that is reinforced by the firsthand experiences the poet draws from of his own emotional experience of emigrating.
