A realization and quest of discovery of oneself and life, Jasmine Kang's River of Light is a debut book of poems, prose and artwork straight from the heart. Her writings, drawn variously from her experiences, upbringing and her deep contemplation of the world around her, are striking in their simplicity, yet rich in their scope and treatment. Here's a book you wouldn't want to miss. Here's a book that comes once in a while from a young author.
*Includes special tribute to Michael Jackson

Excerpts-
"In the endless sky of desire
You want to fly
You want to see"
"This is a story of a dreamer,
the dreamer in us,
who wakes up and finds that
dreams can become reality"
"All of our lives, we seem to be searching for something...
to find it was there all along, our dream"
