Like I knew, standing
on the seashore, the hunger
wracking a migrant's body
is movement.
--from Romeo Oriogun's "Migrant by the Sea"

The Gathering of Bastards chronicles the movement of migrants as they navigate borders both internal and external. At the heart of these poems of vulnerability and sharp intelligence, the poet himself is the perpetual migrant embarked on forced journeys that take him across nations in West and North Africa, through Europe, and through American cities as he navigates the challenges of living through terror and loss and wrestles with the meaning of home.
