Bazar Oriental

A Bazar Oriental is a corner shop, regularly disorganized, packed with school supplies, toys, electronics, pet food, kitchen utensils, birthday decorations, and an intense plastic scent that lingers on your outfit long after you've left the store. This collection of poetry resembles a chaotic bazar of moods and sentiments, of being disoriented, of not being able to distinguish homesickness from falling in love. It is a voyage divided in three parts, the present reality (Of Gibsons and Other Hurricanes), the past leading to the present (Of Bazars) and the last part, which is the ultimate yearning and goal (Of Home). Throughout the collection, the author is constructing the means to make it home unbroken.
