South China Sea

South China Sea

A Poet's Autobiography

By Ken Norris

South China Sea is a poet's autobiography. Forgoing the props of conventional narrative, the book travels through space and time, revealing the moments in a life that anchor reality and constitute memory. In poems that compel us to remember and to re-evaluate our own personal stories, Norris travels back to a New York City childhood and to his years as a young man in the art and literary scene of Montreal, while moving forward in the present on a soul-changing journey through China.

Reviews

Concise yet refreshingly open with language and structure, South China Sea is densely packed and deserves a slow, reflective summer read.
