Pages : 64
Book Description
Sweet Butter Tea is a collection of poems that spontaneously sprang from the most personal memories and childhood recollections of exiled Tibetan Ten Phun. Since his escape into India, Ten Phun has experienced a bewildering sense of loss, harrowing loneliness, as well as lively times in a borrowed space. This volume is peppered with eclectic images of confusion, nostalgia, and the poet's deep longing to be back in his home of Tibet. "I don't know how old my heart is, I only know my five-o'clock shadow tells it all," Ten Phun writes. This book of poetry promises a dizzying journey into a young adult refugee's struggles, dreams, and musings, all packed into bite-sized verses that grasp at truth and attempt to put into words the anguish of physical, emotional, and psychological dislocation.

Book Description
Steep Tea is Singapore-born Jee Leong Koh's fifth collection and the first to be published in the UK. Koh's poems share many of the harsh and enriching circumstances that shape the imagination of a postcolonial queer writer. They speak in a voice both colloquial and musical, aware of the infusion of various traditions and histories. Taking leaves from other poets - Elizabeth Bishop, Eavan Boland, and Lee Tzu Pheng, amongst others - Koh's writing is forged in the known pleasures of reading, its cultures and communities.

Book Description
An eclectic mix of fine poems. Poems to make you laugh and poems to make you cry. A sad poem about a dog. A funny poem about 'manure' for want of a better word! A witty poem for people who love to show dogs. Poems about love and 'love lost' . Poems to excite you and invite you to want to read more poetry and maybe encourage you to write your own poems. Poems about life and poems about death. Praise for - A Show Dog's Lament - "Very good Barbara. This is a witty portrayal of 'it's a dog's life' but also explores the relationship between humans and animals. Plenty of magazines publish stuff only half as good as this." Praise for - Autumn Leaves - "Simply effective, Barbara. In four stanzas you've captured the essence of reflection and nostalgia and your use of metaphor in the final verse is particularly good."

Book Description
As a Tibetan refugee, most of my poems reflect the myriad tunes of loneliness and sadness and the poignancy of our lives in exile. They contain my experiences, observations, and the gentle fragility of this time, and sometimes reflect the bitterly comic. Many were written at night. There are millions of people like me. Every one of us tries to build a home in his or her own heart. It is not that easy.

Book Description
"Included in his writings is a remarkable but little-known document, essential to understanding his life, that contains Baisao's response to a customer's inquiry as to why he abandoned the Buddhist priesthood for a tea-selling life. These poems, memoirs, and letters trace his spiritual and physical journey over a long life." "This book includes virtually all of his writings translated for the first time into English, together with the first biography of Baisao to appear in any language. It is bound to establish Baisao's place alongside other Zen-inspired poets such as Basho and Ryokan."--BOOK JACKET.
