Bronx Migrations

Front Cover
Cherry Castle Publishing, Jul 7, 2016 - Poetry - 102 pages
"One canot read Michelle M. Tokarczyk's Bronx Migrations without being moved - from the past to the present, from the Bronx to Queens to Suburbia, from childhood to adulthood, from physical houses to intangible homes, and from within. She graciously draws in what is missing from the straight edges and faded marks of time and place; she gives her readers an unforgettable and extraordinary record of ordinary reality."--Back of book

She attended Herbert Lehman College--back in the Bronx--and received her doctorate in English from SUNY Stony Brook. She has been active in the Working-Class Studies Association and is known for her critical work as well as her poetry. Tokarczyk is a professor of English at Goucher College. An avowed city dweller, she divides her time between Baltimore and New York.
