Abstract

These poems are a representation of refugees' experience of arrival to an emergency refugee camp in southeastern Sicily, right after the tragic shipwreck of refugees at Lampedusa, in which more than 360 Eritreans lost their lives. These poems give witness to the harsh reality of death, dislocation, confusion, and grief of the men, women, and children who flee their homeland(s) and attempt to find life in a country that is largely hostile to them. © 2014 SAGE Publications.
