*The American Poet Who Went Home Again* is a very modern book but has drawn comparison to playwright Lillian Hellman’s classic memoir, *Pentimento*, and like that book it contains both illuminated self portraits and striking objective subject works. Internet book product pages point out that readers who enjoyed *The American Poet Who Went Home Again* were the same ones inclined to pick up such titles as Ron Hall’s *Same Kind of Different as Me*, Immaculee Ilibagiza’s L*eft to Tell*, and Tony Dungee’s *Quiet Strength*, all of portray individuals coming to terms with challenging environments and circumstances. The book’s subtitle, which is on the inside but not the outside cover, is “A mosaic of my soul at work,” and just might be the best overall description of the book.
