The IPPY Award–winning anthology of poetry, memoir, and essays—“accounts of assimilation and nostalgia, celebration and resistance” (Rick Barot, author of The Galleons). This collection contains contributions from sixty-five writers who were either born and/or raised in the United States by one or more immigrant parent. Their work describes the many contradictions, discoveries and life lessons one experiences when one is neither seen as fully American nor fully foreign. Contributors include Richard Blanco, Tina Chang, Joseph Lagaspi, Li-Young Lee, Timothy Liu, Naomi Shihab Nye, Oliver de la Paz, Ira Sukrungruang, Ocean Vuong, and many other talented writers from throughout the United States. Winner of a Bronze Medal from the Independent Publisher Book Awards for Multicultural Nonfiction “When you hold in your DNA two countries—the cultures, the languages, the delicious foods and stories—you embody richness. These writers know on the cellular level many-layered ways to live, to struggle, to love. Here are voices we need to hear, writers we need to read. This is a brilliant, timely book, an antidote to divisiveness.” —Peggy Shumaker, former Alaska State Writer Laureate “The poets and writers in Two-Countries show that one result of our ongoing national experiment is a rich deepening in our literature. We may be in perilous times as a country, but our writers have never been in more ferocious health.” —Rick Barot, author of The Galleons

About the Book: "Two Countries, One Heart" written by R.K.P. Market and Competition: This book was written for those who enjoy reading autobiographies reading the life story of another, learning through their experiences. Also, those who are interested in how the war was experienced by a child and the adaptations necessary following an immigration. Although there are many autobiographical books, the beauty is that none are identical. Each person lives their own story and interprets events in their own way. Hence, leaving my book unique.

KJ is spending time with Grandma and Nanna whilst his parents are away for the week. He is intrigued by a picture of a little baby with his mum and dad. The question of "What is My Name?" comes up when KJ learns that the photo was the day of his naming ceremony. In this story, Grandma and Nanna explain KJ's Nigerian and Ghanaian names whilst helping KJ understand the decision and thought process behind each given name. "What Is My Name?" is written to help kids and others understand the cultural significance that having an African or multicultural name has on the child and their families identity. The power a child gets from calling or hearing an African name is an upliftment of self-esteem and confidence. Such names help to reaffirm the richness of a child's heritage and the cultural diversity that surrounds them.

A timely and moving collection from the renowned inaugural poet on issues facing our country and people—immigration, gun violence, racism, LGBTQ issues, and more. Through an oracular yet intimate and accessible voice, Richard Blanco addresses the complexities and contradictions of our nationhood and the unresolved sociopolitical matters that affect us all. Blanco digs deep into the very marrow of our nation through poems that interrogate our past and present, grieve our injustices, and note our flaws, but also remember to celebrate our ideals and cling to our hopes. Charged with the utopian idea that no single narrative is more important than another, this book asserts that America could and ought someday to be a country where all narratives converge into one, a country we can all be proud to love and where we can all truly thrive. The poems form a mosaic of seemingly varied topics: the Pulse nightclub massacre; an unexpected encounter on a visit to Cuba; the forced exile of 8,500 Navajos in 1868; a lynching in Alabama; the arrival of a young Chinese woman at Angel Island in 1938; the incarceration of a gifted writer; and the poet’s abiding love for his partner, who he is finally allowed to wed as a gay man. But despite each poem’s unique concern or occasion, all are fundamentally struggling with the overwhelming question of how to love this country.
