Love Poem to Tofu & Other Poems

In this highly unusual chapbook memorable poetry and beautiful calligraphic art are married to exquisite tastes. One immediately identifies with Mong-Lan's poems while with her calligraphic art one wishes to linger. And the tastes remain even after the pages are closed. Whether Mong-Lan is singing of her love to food or writing of Southeast Asia (particularly Vietnam and Thailand) her poetry is quick-witted humorous vibrant intoxicating and worldly. One sips the words slowly imbibes to smell not only to taste; then to devour wholeheartedly of what the soul sings.
