Description

The emotionally powerful poems in A Thousand Homes evoke the songs of lumberjacks, the smells of cooking, the tenderness and harshness of family life, and the sharp disruptions of the Japanese-Canadian diaspora, including the forced evacuation of Japanese-Canadians from the west coast in World War II.

About the author

Terry Watada is a well-published author living in Toronto, Ontario. He has three novels, five poetry books, and a short story collection in print. Hiroshima Bomb Money, his fourth novel, is the culmination of his exploration of the Japanese and Japanese Canadian experience. Hiroshima Bomb Money comes from the heart, more so than any other, since at its core, the novel encompasses the Japanese experience during World War II. The book illuminates the events, incidents and atrocities of the Hiroshima bomb, the invasion of China and the Canadian Internment.
