<p>Poetry. Diana Anhalt's newest collection, BECAUSE THERE IS NO RETURN, is the reminiscence of her life in Mexico after fleeing the U.S. with her parents during the McCarthy Era. After nearly sixty years Diana returned to the US, only to find that it was no longer her home. She has since cataloged the things you can't take back in a carry- on—the bougainvillea, taxicab rosaries, wet season rainbows—and laments them all here. Consequently, her poetry surrenders to the seductress that is nostalgia, porque nunca hay retorno: because there is no return.</p>

Diana Anhalt tells their story-and her own-sympathetically but not uncritically"-Dr. Harvey Klehr. "Diane Anhalt's lively personal account introduces us to the heretofore unknown story of this struggling community.It's an important story-and Anhalt tells it well-reminding us of the personal costs that political repression can inflict upon its victims and their families"-Dr. Ellen W.
