Tai Chi Morning

In 1988, poet Nikki Grimes visited the east coast of China and chronicled her experiences in her poetry. Distilling the delight and confusion of an African American traveler thousands of miles from home, her poems take a thoughtful, sometimes playful, look at China in transition - through an outsider's eyes. Around the same time, artist Ed Young was visiting his native China--as always, writing and sketching his impressions in a personal journal. Like Nikki, Ed witnessed signs of the old China alongside the new. Like the poet, the artist caught hold of them and set them down on paper. Tai Chi Morning offers a unique double vision -- similar journeys seen through two different sets of eyes -- that will inspire and challenge its readers.
