The three sections of World Headquarters resonate with and reinforce the interconnectedness among the local and universal, the personal and political, the human and non-human worlds. Poems comprising Part II, ad-Dawha, were begun while Peter Fortunato lived in Doha, the capital of Qatar. During the rapid modernization of that desert emirate, Fortunato taught four years at the newly opened Weill Cornell Medicine. But where exactly is the world's headquarters-these poems dance across the horizons of the mind, unlimited in its essence, particular in its myriad expressions.
