Thanks for stopping by!Ub43I59 wrote: ↑23 Apr 2019, 15:26 Best Evidence by Mark S. Osaki takes the reader on an introspective journey through thoughts and emotions as he uses mastery of language in poetry to highlight racial prejudice, war, and its resultant psychological after-effects in the metaphorical pen of patriarchal Asian-American culture. Detailed review. Congrats on BOTD.

What a wonderful review. Your review was nothing short of amazing. I do not know one poetry from another because honestly I've never liked poetry. Still this was an interesting read for me and what a review! You are my review role model!

Hi Clorinda! Thank you so much for your comments, and I thank you for your compliments! I certainly hope that my review made you curious about the book, and I'm even more honoured when you mentioned that you are not a fan of poetry. (:Clorinda Donovan wrote: ↑11 May 2019, 20:57 Hi gen_g,
