Summary: Insightful, elegantly written poetry on a diverse level
Review: As a teacher of Korean descent, I am constantly looking for literature that exemplifies the various cultures seen in my classroom. Janet S. Wong does a wonderful job creating images of her childhood and expressing the 'balance' of several cultures that is often endured by children of diverse backgrounds. I discovered this book during a university course on poetry this summer and am looking forward to incorporate it in my poetry unit for the upcoming school year.
