In the Hmong tradition, the song poet recounts the story of his people, their history and tragedies, joys and losses; extemporizing or drawing on folk tales, he keeps the past alive, invokes the spirits and the homeland, and records courtships, births, weddings, and wishes. Following her award-winning book The Latehomecomer, Kao Kalia Yang now retells the life of her father Bee Yang, the song poet, a Hmong refugee in Minnesota, driven from the mountains of Laos by American's Secret War. Bee lost his father as a young boy and keenly felt his orphanhood. He would wander from one neighbor to the next, collecting the things they said to each other, whispering the words to himself at night until, one day, a song was born. Bee sings the life of his people through the war-torn jungle and a Thai refugee camp. But the songs fall away in the cold, bitter world of a Minneapolis housing project and on the factory floor until, with the death of Bee's mother, the songs leave him for good. But before they do, Bee, with his poetry, has polished a life of poverty for his children, burnished their grim reality so that they might shine. Written with the exquisite beauty for which Kao Kalia Yang is renowned, The Song Poet is a love story--of a daughter for her father, a father for his children, a people for their land, their traditions, and all that they have lost"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Yang, Bee, $d 1958- 650 0 $a Hmong Americans $z Minnesota $v Biography. 650 0 $a Singers $z Minnesota $v Biography. 650 0 $a Hmong poetry $z Minnesota. 650 0 $a Songs, Hmong $z Minnesota. 650 0 $a Refugees $z Minnesota $v Biography. 600 10 $a Yang, Kao Kalia, $d 1980- $x Family. 650 0 $a Fathers and daughters $z Minnesota. 650 0 $a Hmong (Asian people) $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Hmong (Asian people) $z Laos $v Biography. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Cultural Heritage. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers2/bk1388/947/9781627794947/image/lgcover.9781627794947.jpg 941 $a 11 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240716015521.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305012856.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20220806015209.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518020810.0 952 $l N2AX314 $d 20210728020535.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210505010808.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110065028.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20191024010044.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006094954.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20170603012143.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20160602010851.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DAB5A32E1BF411E6B26D5A7DDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b DIVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
