Brief introduction of the poem and the poet
“Refugee ship” is a poem about the poet’s identity which is one of the main topic of chicano American potery.
From a young age, she was discouraged from speaking Spanish and only taught English in order to protect her from the racism that pervaded her time. This loss of language and a struggle to find her true identity helped inspire her poet
poems.
Especially those about Germany.
I had two aunts there too,
I really like them
Aunt Kthe was my mother뭩 sister.
Dad뭩 sister was called Liesel.
Sometimes they helped out in grandfather뭩
hotel 밇agle.
But that was before the Nazis came.
May I help you?
No, thank you!
We have to leave now.
The Nazis didn뭪 allow my father
to work as lawyer.
And they took grandfather뭩 hotel.
