American
Poets Continuum Series
In Angels for
the Burning, David Mura examines the experience of contemporary
Asian-Americans and the various aspects of familial history between
first, second, and third-generation Japanese-Americans.
Mura believes one of poetry's tasks is to explore the challenges
to our identities as we encounter various "others" and
other visions of ourselves and our world. Angels for
the Burning attempts this task.
Internment
Camp Psychology
circa 1945
Just
after his release Mas took a psychological test.
Three
questions he never forgot: Do you think
people
are out to get you? Do you feel you are
being
followed? When you see a crowd of strangers
walking
toward you, do you try to avoid them?
To
all three he answered yes.
And
knew he sounded insane.
