Description
In this lyrical, emotionally resonant collection, a young boy and his family navigate the quiet wonder—and complicated realities—of growing up in a world shaped by memory, migration, and love. Through vivid scenes and carefully observed moments, the poems trace how identity is formed: in the rhythms of daily life, in the pull of family stories, and in the search for belonging. With themes of family, language, resilience, and the natural world as a mirror for the self, the book invites readers to see how small places can hold large truths. Bao Phi’s distinctive, accessible style blends tenderness with sharp insight, making each poem feel both intimate and widely human.
