“Book Descriptions: A Geography That Does Not Hurt Us offers odes and elegies, prayers and whispers and shouts that speak to and from the poet’s identity as the daughter of immigrants. Carla Sofia Ferreira asks us to consider impossible but essential questions: What does it mean to be a tree growing in a polluted but still beautiful city? In the face of all that would cause harm, whether inhumane immigration laws or the cruelty of climate change, how do we create a world that will not hurt us? These are poems for immigrant daughters, poems for Newark and Portugal, poems for anyone who has felt grief or distance or loss — across time zones, across geographies.” DRIVE
