Hardback. Condición: Very Good. It has true spiritual importance for contemporary American literature.--Edward HirschUpon its initial publication, acclaimed poet Li-Young Lee's memoir The Winged Seed: A Remembrance (1995), received an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation. In lyrical prose, Lee's extraordinary story begins in the 1950s when his parents fled China's political turmoil for Indonesia. Along with many other Chinese members of the population, his family was persecuted under President Sukarno. Falsely accused and charged for crimes against the state, his father spent a year and a half in jail as a political prisoner, half of that time in a leper colony. While his entire family was being transported to a prison colony, they escaped and fled to Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, and back to Hong Kong where his father rose to prominence as an evangelical preacher. Eventually, the family sought asylum in the United States in 1962. When the author was six, they emigrated to a small town in western Pennsylvania where his father became a Presbyterian minister. This reissued edition contains a new foreword by the author and never-before-seen photos of the family from different stages of their journey.Li-Young Lee is the author of four critically acclaimed books of poetry that have garnered such awards as the Delmore Schwartz Memorial Award from New York University; the 1990 Lamont Poetry Selection; the Writer's Award from the Mrs. Giles Whiting Foundation; and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, The Lannan Foundation, and the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation.…

Bumping to top and bottom of DJ spine and top corners, elsewise a clean, tight copy sans rips/tears, stains, and discoloration. "This first book of prose by the celebrated Chinese-American poet Li-Young Lee is a literary event-a luminous, wise, and magical work of memory and myth. Lee's extraordinary account follows the journey that began in the early 1950s when his parents fled China's political turmoil for Indonesia. After anti-Chinese sentiment there landed Lee's father (whose name translates to Perfect Country) in prison, the family escaped to Hong Kong, where his father rose to prominence as an evangelical preacher. When the author was six, they emigrated to America, where his father eventually became the minister of an all-white Presbyterian church in a small town in western Pennsylvania." 205 pages. Japanese American academic and poet Garrett Hongo's DJ blurb exults: "This is the finest book I've read that testifies to the experiences of Asian refugees in America-their pride and hope, their cultural alienation and social pain, their faith in personal redemption. 'The Winged Seed' is a memory palace of exile, diaspora, and retribution." GB2.…
