Description

My Immigrant Shoes: Life with Questions, Hope and Gratitude explores the many dimensions of Marcus Wright's life as told through free verse poetry. Wright has chosen to embed questions, commentary, expressions of gratitude, hope and love into narrative poetry, as presented throughout this collection. When he emigrated from Jamaica to America, the experience was not at all what he expected. Even so, the drive not only to survive but to thrive was indomitable; in spite of severe culture shock, he succeeded through hard work, discipline and perseverance. My Immigrant Shoes presents a unique collection of verse that examines his faith and the greater spiritual force from which he has always sought guidance during good times and bad. Prayers to his God have always been answered. When life seemed hopeless in his beautiful homeland of Jamaica, there was no other choice but to explore the unknown and do what he had to--"to improve my life's condition" (from "Immigration Limbo"). This collection recalls discovering love, having and raising children and knowing immediate and extended family--a joyful and nurturing experience.
