New from Mary Bonina-and particularly timely-LUNCH IN CHINATOWN is a poetry collection inspired by the poet's work teaching the English language to immigrants from Haiti, China, Poland and other European countries, Central, Latin American, and African nations, and others.
The poems highlight, as Patrick Sylvain, Professor of Global Studies, states in his introduction, the universal nature of human connection, understanding, and a sense of shared humanity in the face of cultural and linguistic differences Bonina sees her classes as offering survival skills,
and compares her necessarily improvised lessons to the act of writing a poem, that familiar process of one word, one thought, leading to another, often unanticipated one, recognizing endless possibilities, and finally settling on the right one in a moment of revelation.
