stenaros's review against another edition
4.0
The delightful 80+ year old volunteer at school gave this book to me because she thought I would "get it." It's a good poetic examination of the internment of the Portland-area Japanese during WWII, the flooding of Vanport and also the drowning of Celilo Falls. The Expo center, where the Japanese were houses, and the site of Vanport are very near my house and I enjoyed how Sand linked the present day Max stops to the history of the area.

4.0
4.5 stars. This is a great work, especially if you live in or know the Portland area, but even if you don't. Discusses Japanese internment in Oregon, the Vanport flood and also includes historical documents woven into the pieces. Glad I found it.
