Yes, this lady was talking her experience in China and how the life and more. There was poem for each thing she describe. Ok to me with this book. Not my favorite. ( ) I would love to have this book in my own poetry collection. This is simple poetry that children could read and learn about the culture of China. Also, if there are children in my classroom from China, this would be a great book to have in the classroom. Books are a great way for children to learn about cultures. I think that this collection can be utilized in many ways. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Tai Chi Morning is simply, as the title implies, snapshots of China seen through the lens of a poet's eye. It is a collection of moments, a personal record of an outsider's first experience of China." (From the introduction) In 1988, poet Nikki Grimes spent three weeks along the east coast of China. Like any curious tourist, she observed and touched, sniffed and tasted. But unlike most, she poured those sensations into poetry. Distilling the delight and confusion of an African American traveler thousands of miles from home, her poems take a thoughtful, sometimes playful, look at an outsider's sense of self. As it happened, around the same time, artist Ed Young was visiting his native China--as always, writing and sketching his impressions in a personal journal. Like Nikki, Ed witnessed signs of the old China alongside the new. Like the poet, the artist caught hold of them and set them down on paper. Through Nikki's wry but penetrating verse and Ed's deft, revealing drawings, in Tai Chi Morning the journeys of a visiting American poet and an artist returning home unwind side by side in counterpoint.
