Description

Although the Astoria section of New York has been considered the largest Hellenic settlement outside of Greece or Cyprus, it is striking that it has received relatively little attention by writers, artists, and social scientists. The present bilingual book of poems and images, both as a physical object and as a discursive project, is about a culturally neglected enclave in the midst of ethnic and social transformations. Even in the era of globalization, every social and artistic action occurs somewhere locally, and accordingly the poems and images presented here emphasize the role of exile, of people, and of place.
