Wanderers

By Mei Lan Wang, Sarah Ben Sabat, John S Green and 12 more

Whether seeking asylum, travelling between homes, or studying abroad, these poems shimmer and roar with the chaos, beauty, and astonishment that come with crossing borders. The impetus for crossing varies, but whatever the reason, borders loom large in the lives of these poets.
