Epidemic of Nostalgia Sujash Purna

Epidemic of Nostalgia offers a dreamy, multicultural take on immigration, love, and home, as the poems beckon readers inside a nostalgic world through the lens of an immigrant who has lived two lives between Dhaka, Bangladesh and small town rural America. The poems in these collections have appeared in literary journals from around the world, from Bangladesh to Northamptonshire, England to France to South Carolina. Former Guggenheim fellow Naomi Shihab Nye and former Missouri poet laureate Karen Craigo have praised the poems that sketch many of the stories from thousands of international/immigrant individuals that come to America in search of a better life.
