Born in the Wrong Desert - Paperback

by Misha Tentser (Author)

Born in the Wrong Desert is Misha Tentser's debut chapbook poetry collection. Tentser writes "I'm a lost Jew born / in the wrong desert, / I feel my insides twist toward Jerusalem," Despite Tentser's apprehension, he steps back to examine the southwest desert that he carries from birth. Collecting the names of people and stories who helped make this desert his home. Steeped in story and poetic language, Tentser delivers a terse morsel of his world- Ukraine and Russian-adding yet another layer of cultural diversity and language into the richness that is the southwest.
