Reaching Mithymna : among the volunteers and refugees on Lesvos / Steven Heighton. by Heighton, Steven, 1961-2022. Biblioasis, 2020. Call #: 362.8783 H465r Subjects Heighton, Steven, 1961-2022-   Refugee camps -- Greece -- Lesbos (Municipality)   Refugees -- Greece -- Lesbos (Municipality)   Volunteer workers in social service -- Greece -- Lesbos (Municipality)   Syria -- History -- Civil War, 2011- -- Refugees. ISBN:  9781771963763 (trade pbk) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  274 p. : ill., map ; 21 cm. Notes:  "A John Metcalf book." Summary:  "A poet's firsthand account of a month volunteering on the frontlines of the Syrian refugee crisis. In the fall of 2015, Steven Heighton made an overnight decision to travel to the frontlines of the Syrian refugee crisis in Greece and enlist as a volunteer. He arrived on the isle of Lesvos with a duffel bag and a dubious grasp of Greek, his mother's native tongue, and worked on the landing beaches and in OXY -- a jerrybuilt, ad hoc transit camp providing simple meals, dry clothes, and a brief rest to refugees after their crossing from Turkey. In a town deserted by the tourists that had been its lifeblood, Heighton -- alongside the exhausted locals and under-equipped international aid workers -- found himself thrown into emergency roles for which he was woefully unqualified. From the brief reprieves of volunteer-refugee soccer matches to the riots of Camp Moria, Reaching Mithymna is a firsthand account of the crisis and an exploration of the borders that divide us and the ties that bind."--Publisher.
