A unique collection of poetry that is deeply embedded in the author's background that has for many generations lived on the island of Guam in the South Pacific.The poems range from the period of Spanish conquest to when the land was taken over by Japan during World War Two, to their "rescue" by allies troops. Perez teaches us much about the unique culture and language of Gum in his varied poems. I can see why the collection received all the acclaim that it did.
