When the Stars Were Still Visible


Book Description

Mari Mazziotti Gillan's new book, When the Stars were Still Visible, asks us to "remember." In her example, memories start "on the back steps of the six-family tenement / on 5th Avenue in Paterson" in 1944, her father dressed "as a devil for a costume party / at the Società Cilentana"; this opens "so many memories" which "swirl / like bits of color in a kaleidoscope": of Mrs Gianelli "who always fainted when she got upset" and of "Zio Guillermo's garden / with tomatoes and zucchini and corn" which is "years later / covered with asphalt and garages." The poet tells us that "children of immigrants pick up bits and pieces / over the years to create a picture" ("The Children of Immigrants"), that "On the street where I grew up / everyone knew everyone else. / We knew each other's secrets" ("Carrying Their Hometowns to Paterson"), and, invoking Eliot, that they wore faces that they presented to the world. She writes about her people, her community, and the comfort of soothing things "beckoning me home" ("Even After All These Years"), the way, perhaps, that all poetry should.

Life is hard there: never enough food, achingly dull, and without access to the medical care Omar knows his nonverbal brother needs. So when Omar has the opportunity to go to school, he knows it might be a chance to change their future . . . but it would also mean leaving his brother, the only family member he has left, every day. Heartbreak, hope, and gentle humor exist together in this graphic novel about a childhood spent waiting, and a young man who is able to create a sense of family and home in the most difficult of settings. It's an intimate, important, unforgettable look at the day-to-day life of a refugee, as told to New York Times Bestselling author/artist Victoria Jamieson by Omar Mohamed, the Somali man who lived the story.
