Work
Her poem "My Father in a Foreign Country" offers one vision of survival:
After dinner, the coffee boy spoke to him.
He heard the sound, silver sliding on silver,
rose up blinking and dripping.
The ladies demanded satisfaction,
but my father said nothing:
the boy was so young,
the urn was so heavy,
the customs, as always,
so different from his own.

Reviews
The contest judge, poet Diane Wakoski, said the work was a
powerful and terrifying ironic vision of twentieth-century urban madness and the desire to survive it not by love, understanding, historic or mythic renewal by death, or even humor. But rather, by blinding wit, piercing irony and an uncompromising attention to truth.[8]
