Fighting Kite (page 7) Contents

Here is the contents page of Fighting Kite. The page numbers given are the same as those in the book; click on the page number for the blog post that features the poem on that page in the book. Since the book, at this point, is still being posted in the blog little by little, not all the page-number links will be live right away. I'll fill in links as poems and pages get posted.     9  —  Greased Pole             10  —  Selling Fish             11  —  Chewing Gum Upskirt             12  —  Tatay             14  —  Honor, 1946             15  —  A Visitor on Ash Wednesday             17  —  Wedlock             18  —  Photo with Santa Claus             20  —  Dance of the Letters             22  —  Newly Released, Papa Tells Me What It's Like Inside             24  —  Vietnam Era Vet             26  —  Hospital Thoughts, Last Year and Today             28  —  Refusal to Write an Elegy             30  —  Fighting Kite             32  —  Playing Chess with Papa                         35  —  Acknowledgements             37  —  About the Author Page 7 I'm excited to be presenting this book in this way.
