What does it mean to feel at home? In his groundbreaking debut collection Exit Wounds, Indo-Canadian poet Tariq Malik weaves together history and myth with his own family's experiences of immigration to uncover what it truly means to belong. Whether he is recalling his childhood memories of the death of his father, imagining himself as a dead soldier lost in the sands of the Kuwaiti desert, or drawing upon his family's experience of 'three wars and migrations, ' Malik's moving search for home will resonate with anyone who has ever felt at odds with a dominant monoculture. Malik's poetry combines traditional Punjabi mythology and First Nations' symbolism with contemporary events that have shaped the lives of immigrants: 9/11, RCMP violence, war. The result is a defiant triumph of the plurality of minority experiences--a poetic chorus of immigrants and their descendants coming home to the truth and power of their many worlds.
