Lettuce from Shangars By Tom Law

Summary

Lettuce from Shangars is a short collection of oblique and ribald poems from the illusive but sweeping hand of author Tom Law. He shows some depth in piercing below the rubbery epidermis of this vibrant new city (Shanghai) and the people within as well as those of its hinterland. He shows little respect for what he sees as an outmoded and anachronistic central government. Once dipping its hands in blood it now dips into the profits of a resurgent and expanding super-economy. What monumental changes are just around the corner? Author of Nuclear Islam and Other Stories LONGERSHIP PUBLISHING AUSTRALIA

About Tom Law

Tom Law lives in East Gippsland, Australia among the forests, mountains and streams of the Omeo region. He was a teacher of science subjects for most of his working life and has traveled extensively in Asia, particularly Indonesia. His first published non-fiction work Nuclear Islam and Other Stories received a mixed reception among critics world-wide but generally earned him respect as a serious writer. This short collection of poems belies another side to a multi-faceted personality. Tom goes where angels fear to tread, but then he admits that he himself is no angel! Whereas most of us are timid and always conscious of self-preservation, you will find here daring statements and perceptions of the Mighty Dragon drawn from his own observations and experience.
