Sir David and the Green Card maps a journey through the twists of today’s U.S. immigration system, with all its surreal demands and medieval burdens. From a dark beginning in cold British traffic to the seared highways of California, these poems recount a ten-year quest for permanence and the motley characters – real and imagined – met along the way. Join a vibrant tour through machinery suspected-yet-unknown, a story of remaining human inside political scaffolding, and a scrutiny of the complex privilege of navigating it all as an English-speaker.
