| Publisher Description: Thousand Star Hotel confronts the silence around racism, police brutality, and the invisibility of the Asian American urban poor. From with thanks to Sahra Nguyen for the refugee style slogan: They give the kids candy to bet. My daughter loses the first four rounds,she's a quiet wire as they take her candy away, piece by piece. When she finally wins, I ask if she wants to play again. No she shouts, grabbing her candy, I want to go home True refugee style: take everything you got and run with it. Bao Phi is a National Poetry Slam finalist. |
