How Do I Begin?: A Hmong American Literary Anthology Paperback – August 1, 2011

Beautiful writing! From the beginning onward, it leaves me wanting to read more about my people. This book deserves more recognition and needs to be talked about more!

This is a beautiful book about a remarkable people who not only learned to create a written language after a thousand years of oral tradition, but who also learned to love and write poetry, essays, and the stories of their culture. I highy recommend it.

Thanks

Another great book from the Amazon Library about the Hmong culture, I love it as I am married to a Hmong and am always learning new things through these books, thanks Amazon for carrying such a huge variety !

Excellent collection of poem, stories, and experiences from Hmong Americans.

A wonderful look into the lives and feelings of generations of these immigrants as they assimilate into American culture and different ways of looking at life.

Such a beautiful work by some of my favorite artists. Burlee is truly an artist and a writer for all.

I grew up in the Twin Cities and my BFF from grade school was a hmong girl named Kia Xiong. Wonder where she is now? But Kia got me curious about Hmong people. Overall the book was good, but some writers were better than others. I grew up watching wrestling with my dad and brothers, call me a tomboy. so I could related to Ka Vang's story, Pao Dreams of Bodyslams, Andre the Giant and Hulk Hogan. It was my favoriate story in the book. At one point I also wanted to be a wrestler so I felt like Ka Vang was writing my story. And yes, I am a girl.
