Chinatown Ballads

By Wallace Irwin

Book Overview

Chinatown Ballads is a collection of poems by Wallace Irwin that explores the lives and experiences of Chinese immigrants living in San Francisco's Chinatown at the turn of the 20th century. The poems touch on themes of discrimination, poverty, and the struggle to maintain cultural identity in a foreign land. Through vivid imagery and lyrical language, Irwin gives voice to the marginalized community and sheds light on the complexities of their daily lives. The collection is a testament to the power of poetry to capture the human experience and serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the Chinese American community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
