"How do you make a new country your home? David Davies brilliantly captures the contradictions between the sense of alienation and the awe of discovering the enriching nature of the immigrant experience. Looking inside-out and from the outside-in, using delightful humor and musicality, he allows us to join him in his own personal, yet remarkably universal ongoing journey." --Daphny Maman, screenwriter and lyricist "The playful poems in Sir David and the Green Card capture the nuances of an expatriate's wanderings, as he pursues the Holy Grail--a green card--all the while leading the reader into zones of inspired wonder. 'The Riddle Game' and 'Deploy the Accent' are laugh-out-loud gems. Whether he's waiting on a line or dealing with paperwork, David Davies polishes life's humdrum frustrations and makes them sparkle." --LindaAnn LoSchiavo, author of Apprenticed to the Night "A beautiful collection of poems that crosses borders with the dreams and the romance of a modern knight-errant. David Davies's words are here to stay; they are lyrical footpaths, humorous quests, a welcoming home for literature's wanderers." --Alexandros Plasatis, founder, The Other Side of Hope "As soon as you read this book, you will want to give a copy to someone else--especially if you (or they) have ever lived through an international move.

A Terry Gilliam mixture of romance, idealism, and bureaucratic absurdity; a grail quest achievable only by the perfectly pure, with attendant riddles, dragons, and apparitions. Beautifully written and attractively presented. I thoroughly enjoyed it." --Romie Stott, senior poetry editor, Strange Horizons.
