The Winged Seed A Remembrance

Li-Young Lee1999
Lee's poetic account begins in the early 1950s when his parents flee China's political turmoil for Indonesia. After anti-Chinese sentiment there lands his father in prison, the family escapes to Hong Kong, where his father rises to prominence as an evangelical preacher. Finally, they emigrate to America, where his father becomes the minister of an all white Presbyterian church in a small Pennsylvania town.
