- Summary:
- "Morton Marcus's Pages from a Scrapbook of Immigrants tells the story of his family's life in Czarist Russia and in America. The tale unfolds in a series of fifty-six ... narrative poems. Each poem is a separate work, but when joined with the others, they forms a continuous narrative of one family's struggle to survive, both physically and spiritually, in two alien cultures. Filled with humor and pathos, the poems deal with all areas of the human condition in attempting, as Yeats said, "to come/into the desolation of reality" that is peculiarly American"-- From publisher's website.
