Facing Shadows
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
In another session of the California Lecture Series in Sacramento, CA, I had the pleasure of listening to Ha Jin in a live interview with Jeffry Calison of Public Radio and was enchanted with the strength, courage, gentleness of this man. Born in mainland China, he immigrated to the United States in his late twenties, earned a Ph.D in English from Brandeis University in 1992. This book of poems runs a scope of emotions and will not fail to move the reader.
