Sugata Srinivasaraju reads a poem a week to confront the times we are living in.
More people have now been forced to flee their homes by conflict and crisis than at any time since World War II. More recently, the United States' "zero-tolerance" immigration policy saw thousands of children forcibly separated from their parents at the Mexican border. Jon Veinberg was a poet born in Germany in 1947 after his family fled Soviet occupied Estonia. Around 1950, they emigrated to the United States. On the occasion of World Refugee Day, Sugata Srinivasaraju reads the poem 'Refugee' by Jon Veinberg.
