The poems in this collection were written while the author was dividing his time between California and New York from the early 70s into the early 90s. The poems are placed in four roughly chronological “books” within those times and spaces—Berkeley Trees, Blaxgangster / Orisha, Cali / Atzlan, and Neo.

This collection embraces a range of lively and informed discussions of important themes in contemporary psychoanalytic discourse. The chapters grow out of presentations at ""Psychoanalysis, Culture and Society,"" a conference organised by the Centre for Psychoanalysis, Middlesex University, for post-graduate students and research fellows. The essays demonstrate that the future of psychoanalytic studies is full of promise.
