Fate and a Fulbright grant allowed my world to collide with that of this collection’s author. Jo and I met through a friend of a friend while I was teaching English in a remote city on the island of Borneo. We became fast friends, and I was honored when she asked me if I would edit her poetry. When she told me about her goal to write 100 poems in her second language in the span of only a few months, I was blown away. As the poems steadily arrived in my inbox for revision, I had an opportunity to see the fruit of so much personal reflection I have come to associate with Jo. I found her candor, hope, heartbreak, love, and longing to be tangible when we spoke in person about everything and nothing. Reading her poetry, I had the pleasure of exploring those same emotions further through her writing. The basic, innate human cravings for love, acknowledgement, friendship, and communion are highlighted in Jo’s collection of poems, Sweet & Bitter Memory. In this compilation of thoughts, reflections, and dreams, we simultaneously explore Jo’s experience with and projections of love. She bares her wounds, unanswered questions, and disappointments on one page, while exposing her innocence, idealism, and deep belief in the power of romance on the next. These poems account, for the good, the bad, and the transcendental moments in love and relationships. Her work leaves us wondering where the true nature of love lies or if there is really such a thing. I am moved by the universality of love and the catholic yearning for connection and relationship. One of the most powerful aspects of this compilation of poetry is its potential reach. Publishing the book in English opens doors for Jo and her writing, as well as providing audiences around the world with the ability to examine the heart of a young Indonesian woman through her poetry. What we learn from Jo is a lesson not soon forgotten. Her hopes, dreams, and disappointments are unique yet deeply rooted in the human experience. As readers, we can tap into this duality and acknowledge the interconnection of people from seemingly disparate backgrounds. It has been a pleasure editing these poems and working with Jo to produce a literary work that can have a real impact on real lives. I look forward to seeing what is next professionally and personally for our author. I have a feeling there will be many more wonderful literary works in our future. Enjoy the wonderful opportunity this book presents – getting to know an ambitious, sweet, intelligent, humble human being.

Do you love me? She asked. Yes, he said, I love you as much as the rainbow. Why the rainbow, she asked, with her brows raised? "It's because our love is as lovely as a rainbow," he replied, smiling. "How?" she asked, laughing. He was enjoying this and continued smiling. He replied - it's because our love is as colourful and bright as a rainbow. It's so beautiful that it's on display for all to see. Caught in between a joyful laugh she asked again - how much do you love me? I love you as far as the other end of the rainbow ends, he said still with a smile on his face. Bonnie Baabu

Let these words guide you home, Let them be your last ray, When everything turns into dust, Let them keep your heart safe. The past is dead and gone; all that have stayed alive are memories in the form of words. Bittersweet Memories is a collection of quotes, micro poems and prose by Parul Nigam. It includes pain, angst and so much love coming straight from the heart of an 18-year-old girl. The book is a refuge for the restless souls out there who are constantly battling with the society and with themselves. This debut is a ray of hope for the people who feel that overcoming their past is impossible. It is a reminder that no matter how bad you’ve been hurt, there’s always light waiting for you to reach the end of the tunnel. Illustrated by Deepa Nigam

"Sentimental, heartfelt….the exploration of Henry’s changing relationship with his family and with Keiko will keep most readers turning pages...A timely debut that not only reminds readers of a shameful episode in American history, but cautions us to examine the present and take heed we don’t repeat those injustices."-- Kirkus Reviews “A tender and satisfying novel set in a time and a place lost forever, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet gives us a glimpse of the damage that is caused by war--not the sweeping damage of the battlefield, but the cold, cruel damage to the hearts and humanity of individual people. Especially relevant in today's world, this is a beautifully written book that will make you think. And, more importantly, it will make you feel." -- Garth Stein, New York Times bestselling author of The Art of Racing in the Rain “Jamie Ford's first novel explores the age-old conflicts between father and son, the beauty and sadness of what happened to Japanese Americans in the Seattle area during World War II, and the depths and longing of deep-heart love. An impressive, bitter, and sweet debut.” -- Lisa See, bestselling author of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan In the opening pages of Jamie Ford’s stunning debut novel, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, Henry Lee comes upon a crowd gathered outside the Panama Hotel, once the gateway to Seattle’s Japantown. It has been boarded up for decades, but now the new owner has made an incredible discovery: the belongings of Japanese families, left when they were rounded up and sent to internment camps during World War II. As Henry looks on, the owner opens a Japanese parasol. This simple act takes old Henry Lee back to the 1940s, at the height of the war, when young Henry’s world is a jumble of confusion and excitement, and to his father, who is obsessed with the war in China and having Henry grow up American. While “scholarshipping” at the exclusive Rainier Elementary, where the white kids ignore him, Henry meets Keiko Okabe, a young Japanese American student. Amid the chaos of blackouts, curfews, and FBI raids, Henry and Keiko forge a bond of friendship–and innocent love–that transcends the long-standing prejudices of their Old World ancestors. And after Keiko and her family are swept up in the evacuations to the internment camps, she and Henry are left only with the hope that the war will end, and that their promise to each other will be kept. Forty years later, Henry Lee is certain that the parasol belonged to Keiko. In the hotel’s dark dusty basement he begins looking for signs of the Okabe family’s belongings and for a long-lost object whose value he cannot begin to measure. Now a widower, Henry is still trying to find his voice–words that might explain the actions of his nationalistic father; words that might bridge the gap between him and his modern, Chinese American son; words that might help him confront the choices he made many years ago. Set during one of the most conflicted and volatile times in American history, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet is an extraordinary story of commitment and enduring hope. In Henry and Keiko, Jamie Ford has created an unforgettable duo whose story teaches us of the power of forgiveness and the human heart. BONUS: This edition contains a Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet discussion guide and an excerpt from Jamie Ford's Love and Other Consolation Prizes.
