David Du was born in Qingdao, China, a city close to the Yellow Sea, and lived in China for 45 years before moving to Canada. He’s lived in Canada for 10 years. He wanted to record his life’s journey, and the best way for him to do that was through his poetry. The game of David’s life is poetry. “Poetry is like a teaspoon of sugar placed into a cup of black coffee. Poetry is a quilt warming my cool life; poetry is fireworks burning my lonely sky; poetry is playing cards with others. Life is a game where everyone plays their part.” Read David's words in quiet moments and listen with care to the voice that speaks them. As we make our way through the swirl of modern life, David’s is a voice that deserves to be heard—and one we deserve to hear. This book contains 100 of David Du's poems.
