Globetrotter & Hitler’s Children
by Amatoritsero Ede
New York: Akashic Books, August 2009
106 pp. $17.50
Globetrotter and Hitler's Children is a book of two sequences, melded beautifully and seamlessly, both of which are the shape of the poet’s consciousness and body in relation to space and place. Globetrotter is an immigrant’s paean to the city of Toronto, while Hitler’s Children is a poet’s struggle with race, otherness, and Germany in the spirit
of witness, passion, humor, melancholy, and understanding.

A blast of sunlight haloed your entrance— / Or shadowed you, all that gold drenching you, / Starting with your hair—copper-fire, alive.
