Illustrated by
Ed Young.
In this sensitive and honest glimpse into another culture, poems, sketches, and photographs create an engaging travelogue of the three weeks Grimes spent in China sixteen years ago. Brief commentary precedes the poems; spare but evocative black-and-white drawings, created while Young was in China at the same time as Grimes, capture a sense of the people and the place.
