My rice tastes like the lake

About this book

Poetry. Asian American Studies. "Tsering Wangmo Dhompas MY RICE TASTES LIKE THE LAKE echoes in the mind mouth and heart as its strangely calm English phrases settle into measured lines and stanzas. This is serious beautiful haunting worka unique expression in post-modern writing of a contemporary Buddhist woman in exile searching for a language capable of spanning her own past present and future. It is not enough to have one tongue. / It cannot point to everything / and in every direction."Norman Fischer.
