A powerful poetry collection explores the concepts of home and human migration through the lenses of the author’s personal and family history. An introduction titled “Migrant Poetry” briefly discusses the long history of human migration and elucidates the difference between a migrant and a refugee. Rosen’s Jewish family members, many of who were displaced or are “missing” due to the Holocaust, are the subject of the first section of poetry, in which the author ponders his family’s cultural traditions, songs, and languages—all of which originated in another country. A section titled “The War” recounts the author’s visit to Europe after World War II and his parents’ stories about the war, while “The Migrants in Me” is a meditation on the author’s challenging search for information about several family members who were murdered by Nazis. A final section, “On the Move Again,” draws connections between Rosen’s family history and refugees today. Underlying the collection is a plea for compassion: Throughout the world all kinds of people find themselves uprooted, for all kinds of reasons, all the time. (Ages 9-14)
