For those of us that work and are weighed down, Terra Oliveira's Itinerant Songs is a yearning for home-for safe, affordable shelter, clean, commonly-held water, and the rights to our own land and being amongst our people. Through low-wage jobs, the "hard-facts of devotion," and pilgrimage and recovery, these poems are a politically urgent testament to our times as much as they are a lasting, spiritual attestation.
