The first anthology of its kind, The World I Leave You: Asian American Poets on Faith and Spirit spotlights poets of Asian descent, representing many cultures and religious traditions, including Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, and Zoroastrianism. Among these poets are active religious practitioners, recent converts, and those who do not follow a religious tradition but practice a personal devotion in the negative space of the unknown. The 62 poets included here create a varied and nuanced portrait of today’s Asian American poets and their spiritual engagements.
