Though their bodies disintegrate, their spirits linger on. Fragile but insistent, these spirit-memories permeate Shirley Camia s collection of poetry, \u003ci\u003eThe Significance of Moths\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn her latest work, Camia exposes her experiences in Canada as a child of immigrants. Although true for many, the newcomer experience magnifies the  strands of the past  that are  bound to the present.  Like a voyager though time and space, she perceives her present through a film of nostalgia for a home she never knew, while she faces a future laden with the expectations of a family who risked everything for a better tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turnstone Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073377157360,"sku":"9780888015341","price":12.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780888015341_p0.jpg?v=1763846384","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780888015341","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
