Child of War: Poems

by Genny Lim

"A deeply moving and affirming work of acceptance and resistance. The poems unfold out of the tragic death of Lim's nineteen-year-old daughter, Danielle, and expand into the perpetually war-torn world of crisis and uncertainty. This is a rich gathering of sorrow, joy, and affirmation." --David Meltzer, author of San Francisco Beat: Talking with Poets
