Description: Love Poem to Ginger & Other Poems by Mong-Lan An alluring gem of a chapbook, "Love Poem to Ginger & Other Poems: poetry & paintings" follows Mong-Lans much-lauded "Love Poem to Tofu & Other Poems." An absolute treasure tapestry of poems and paintings, this pocket-sized edition calls joy by its true name and makes pleasure an art. "Mong-Lans poems are fresh and real as a street, full of the seriousness of pleasure. She has the same sense of joy that Kenneth Koch loved in the courage to sing, happiness of St.-John Perse. The courage of Frank OHara who said that the smallest idea in ones own head was better than an old idea in some other brain...The Chinese speak of the three perfections: poetry, painting and calligraphy. But Mong-Lan speaks of the great imperfections that are better for being so. Her poems are full of the bright primaries of her brushstrokes...I praise these poems of praise which collapse distance and makes us feel, as OHara seemed to say, poetry is just a telephone call away."-David Shapiro FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Recognizing its importance, the NEA has provided Tupelo Press with a grant to publish this vital second book by Vietnamese-American poet Mong-Lan, who immigrated to the US after the war. Winner of a Pushcart Prize and frequently anthologized (including the Best American series), her first book, "Song of the Cicadas," won the 2000 Juniper Prize from University of Mass. Press.
