Filled with nostalgia for love and moments imbued by it, Simple Fantasies gives one a look into the daydreaming world of the immigrant mind. Immigrants due to transnational adjustments are hardly celebrated in the realm of love poems in a neoliberal America; however, Simple Fantasies breaks out of that status quo and embraces an international, multicultural lens into the realism of love. Quite indulgent at times, these poems can speak for the loss of our loved ones, not through death, but through the end of a loving moment or the end of a space-and-time continuum that holds us together.
