This edited book is a beautiful and powerful collection of poems and personal and visual narratives of multilingual immigrants in the United States.

The contributors are immigrants from all walks of life who represent a diverse picture of languages, professions, and beliefs from the immigrant diasporas within the United States. Inspired by the use of autoethnography, authors examine their own lives through poems and personal and visual narratives to share with others who might have similar experiences.
