My Father's Martial Art: Poems

by Stephen S. N. Liu

On This Page

Description

"Stephen Liu is a unique figure in contemporary letters - a native of China, from a family of scholars, who left his country as a young man and now writes in English, a language he learned only after emigrating. The poems reflect the delicate vision of Chinese art - its attention to the natural world and the single telling detail that can evoke an entire universe - as well as a sly humor and gentle wistfulness that are entirely the author's own, and they range in subject matter from stories show more of his home and family in China to the surreal neon world of contemporary Las Vegas."--BOOK JACKET. show less
