Right now I am reading Jacqueline Woodson's book, "Another Brooklyn." A New York Times Bestseller book is normally the last book I will pick to read, but the poetry in this book movingly evokes an entire world. Its style is similar to "Far Enough--A Western in Fragments", written by Joe Wilkins which was last year's winner of the High Plains Book Awards. Both books anchor the reader in the poetry of a distinct moment. I plan to read "The Refugees" by Viet Thanh Nguyen. I personally have worked with Asian immigrants for over a decade and it was those experiences that prompted me to pick that books for this summer's reading. Thanks for asking.
