Divided into seven sections—featuring poems, letters, diary entries, and photographs—the desert's multiplicity emerges through a ranging exploration of its Japanese American incarceration sites, homeless population, flora and fauna, violence, beauty and how they combine to reflect this poet's contemporary view of history. Written over three years in the deserts of Arizona, the poet introduces us to the souls of the living and dead, their shadows still residing over the landscape and its mythology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrandon Shimoda\u003c\/b\u003e was born in California.
