Truly knowing means hearing the voices of children and dreams of youth, learning the language, the customs, the contradictions and the confusion. These poems paint portraits of the land through the eyes of a poet in love with Siam's tropical paradise. These poems gracefully accept the cacophony of Bangkok and what it tells us about the human condition. These poems are enchanted by unique traditions, ancient civilizations, modern festivals, and what each tells us about the changing face of Siam. -- From back cover UR - https://opacb.bsru.ac.th/book/ ER -
