Customs N.H. Pritchard Originally published in 1982Solmaz Sharif In Customs, Solmaz Sharif examines what it means to exist in the nowhere of the arrivals terminal, a continual series of checkpoints, officers, searches, and questionings that become a relentless experience of America. With resignation and austerity, these poems trace a pointed indoctrination to the customs of the nation state and the English language, and the realities they impose upon the imagination, the paces they put us through.
