Tu Fu Comes to America: A Story in Poems

This book combines fiction and fact in telling the story of a Chinese immigrant to America around 2008. It reads like a novel yet is poetry. "Tu Fu left his world. In Larry Smith s fine narrative, he reappears in present day Cleveland. We see America through his eyes, through his contemplative heart. Hope, loss, friendship, love, the old quarrel with the world. Travel with him. Open your chest. Learn." MAJ RAGAIN, author of Twist the Axe
