Details of "A Promise for Siam by Tom Radzienda"Date Submitted:
10/14/06 (Edited 10/14/06)
Description:
Siam has become Thailand. Forests have become hotels. Islands have become movies. Cities have become factories. People have become things. That's the country as we know it today.
A Promise for Siam is a search for the genuine essence of Siam by walking peacefully through forests, embracing islands at dawn, seeking humanity in the cities and meeting the hearts of the people. Truly knowing means hearing the voices of children and dreams of youth, learning the language, the customs, the contradictions and the confusion.
These poems paint portraits of the land through the eyes of a poet in love with Siam's tropical paradise. These poems gracefully accept the cacophony of Bangkok and what it tells us about the human condition. These poems are enchanted by unique traditions, ancient civilizations, modern festivals, and what each tells us about the changing face of Siam.
