Tai Chi Morning is simply, as the title implies, snapshots of China seen through the lens of a poets eye. It is a collection of moments, a personal record of an outsiders first experience of China.' (From the introduction)In 1988, poet Nikki Grimes spent three weeks along the east coast of China. Like any curious tourist, she observed and touched, sniffed and tasted. But unlike most, she poured those sensations into 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 an outsiders sense of self.As it happened, around the same time, artist Ed Young was visiting his native Chinaas 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.Through Nikkis wry but penetrating verse and Eds deft, revealing drawings, in Tai Chi Morning the journeys of a visiting American poet and an artist returning home unwind side by side in counterpoint.
