The Department of Peace - Paperback

by Bonnie Wai-Lee Kwong (Author), Glenna Cole Allee (Artist)

In the department of peace, Bonnie Wai-Lee Kwong invites us to a gathering of voices where each utterance matters. Kwong ventures into different languages and registers, time periods and places.
From sailors' prayers to a mother's songs to a lover's last words, all lines render the contours of the
poet's extraordinary sensibility.
