Robin S. Ngangom's poetry is the poetry of feeling, which draws the reader deep into the poet's world. The poem in "My Invented Land" showcases Ngangom's remarkable range- tracing his poetic arc from deeply personal to the political, from chronicles of private joy, sorrows, and everyday epiphanies to the poetry of witness that gazes unflinchingly at the realities that haunt the Northeast, his native land.
