I wasn’t sure what to expect of Chinatown‚ as I’m not from the area and I only really had a general idea of the community.

to cope with memories. In the poem Postcard from Kashmir‚ by Agha Shanhid Ali‚ and Elena‚ by Pat Mora‚ both authors must do just that. In fact‚ both writers effectively incorporate powerful language and techniques in their poems to embody a nostalgic feeling for what once was the past‚ and for what they consider to be an unfulfilled present.
