The Gravedigger\'s Archaeology writes the urban landscape of the US immigrant, a figure constantly reminded of the nameless and the dispossessed who struggle back home in Central America.
In a lyrical, sometimes elegiac language, the poems map the complex territory of an exile who understands the answers lie in the ground..
They travel the fragments and vestiges of a war, the return to one\'s homeland or place of childhood, unearthing the landscapes of a jazz riff, myth, or work of art.
Moving between past and present, these poems record a vigil of loss left by the emptiness of tedious excavation?both psychological and spiritual.
