“Be Like Water” Meditate on change, on what happens when life pulls you from the rushing stream of the city into calmer, slower waters. In these poems, water becomes both a vessel and a mirror, reflecting how we cope, how we carry sadness and joy together, and how, in the end, we learn how to flow.With its emotional clarity, acerbic humor, and the precision of its lyrics, Be Like Water is an exploration of identity, at once culturally rooted and universally poignant. It is a collection of poetry that deals with transformation and change, the history we carry and the future we dare to imagine, and how to move in the world - like water - with strength, grace, and relentless determination.Grace's poems flow through family memories and taboos like water around rocks in a riverbed, at times rippling with absence, at times traveling to places of refuge and hard-won acceptance.
