The Star-Spangled Banner

Viac o knihe

Exploring themes of love and cultural misunderstanding, this collection of poems reflects on the complexities of relationships across national boundaries. The title poem features a child's misinterpretation of "The Star-Spangled Banner," leading to whimsical imagery of foreign romance. Throughout the book, language barriers and class differences create humorous yet poignant moments, such as a father-in-law's misguided remarks about students abroad. With a blend of levity and irreverence, the work delves into the intersections of ethnicity, class, and gender in American society.
