Legends from Camp
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I had the great pleasure to hear Lawson Fusao Inada read some of his poems from this book. It is truly inspirational to catch a glimpse, through his words, of his view of the world. "Legends from Camp" contains poems inspired by his childhood in an internment camp for Japanese Americans during WWII, his home in the state of Oregon, and his love of Jazz. On the back cover of the book, Leslie Marmon Silko writes: "Inada's ear for the musicality of English is unsurpassed: Legends from Camp is a veritable symphony you must not miss." This is so true.
