520    In the Hmong tradition, the song poet recounts the story 
       of his people, their history and tragedies, joys and 
       losses; extemporizing or drawing on folk tales, he keeps 
       the past alive, invokes the spirits and the homeland, and 
       records courtships, births, weddings, and wishes. 
       Following her award-winning book The Latehomecomer, Kao 
       Kalia Yang now retells the life of her father Bee Yang, 
       the song poet, a Hmong refugee in Minnesota, driven from 
       the mountains of Laos by American's Secret War. Bee lost 
       his father as a young boy and keenly felt his orphanhood. 
       He would wander from one neighbor to the next, collecting 
       the things they said to each other, whispering the words 
       to himself at night until, one day, a song was born. Bee 
       sings the life of his people through the war-torn jungle 
       and a Thai refugee camp. But the songs fall away in the 
       cold, bitter world of a Minneapolis housing project and on
       the factory floor until, with the death of Bee's mother, 
       the songs leave him for good. But before they do, Bee, 
       with his poetry, has polished a life of poverty for his 
       children, burnished their grim reality so that they might 
       shine. Written with the exquisite beauty for which Kao 
       Kalia Yang is renowned, The Song Poet is a love story - of
       a daughter for her father, a father for his children, a 
       people for their land, their traditions, and all that they
       have lost.
