Author: Princess Moon Publisher: Bootstrap Press (2016) The poems in The Genocide's Love Baby Learns to Sing take you on a journey starting from the birth of Princess Moon's parent s and Cambodia's psychedelic rock n' roll era to our present day lives with everything in between. Reoccurring themes include war, love, death, separation, family, ecofeminism, healing, and survival. "Each poem in this book is an excavation. Princess Moon digs deep into her history and that of the world around her to unearth powerful truths about personal, generational and post-genocidal trauma, patriarchy, racism, diasporic identity and more. These dense, heavy themes are transformed masterfully into beautiful yet poignant lines that will both break and mend you simultaneously. Princess Moon is an explorer, and every reader will be grateful for the work she has done." –Jonathan Mendoza Show more
