EDITORIAL :
From Library Journal Here 14 Asian American poets display the process of their poems and discuss their sources of inspiration, which include paintings, readings, personal encounters, countries of origin, and the sight of "dog piss." Tabios (poet and editor of the Asian Pacific American Journal) then presents drafts of poems from early stages through numerous alterations, deletions (sometimes entire pages), and additions, all with explanations. This makes for slow reading but engrossing revelations and ultimately rewarding insights into the birth of a poem. Tabios's skillful interviews help the poets reveal their modus operandi. That the writers are Asian American hardly matters; this is a valuable source for poets, aspiring poets, and poetry-lovers.

I asked him how he got the name "Fast Eddy". Wanderone chose the name Minnesota Fats after the movie came out. The writers tend to not hold back when putting Brit thru his paces. This book is a little jewel for anyone wanting to learn about the mining camp history of Northern California, particularly Placer County. Have not got a good use out of it, but hopefully soon. Dafür, dass es in diesem Roman um den Glauben an sich, und den der Engel im Besonderen geht, zeigt er erstaunlich wenig Tiefgang. Eine nachvollziehbare Entwicklung der Charaktere konnte ich nur bei Nathanael und seinem Mentor feststellen, ein Fakt, der mich bei der Stange gehalten hat. The book explains some kitchen techniques and ways of thinking that I have simply never seen anywhere else explained so well. I do recommend this book & would buy it again.. More secrets come to light that were unanswered in the first b
