Hoang Nguyen

At the water's edge of Mirrorlake, where moonshadows dance in nymph reflections and poets verse longings into soul mirrors, nymph Aqua reflects in bard Ewan's poetic gaze, drawing her from liquid solitude to shore-bound passion. Their dance, shadowed in ripple vows, mirrors the hearts—or distorts them in illusory waves. As they waltz along shadow-laced banks and verse-rippled depths, lured by mirror sirens and rhyme wardens, Aqua's fluid grace blends with Ewan's worded soul, revealing a lake legend of reflected verse. When a clouded moon summons ripple phantoms, they must dance the reflection to clear the mirror. In the sway of moonshadow dances, where every ripple holds a verse and every shadow kisses the light, their love becomes the reflection that binds water and word.

Katie Yamasaki

Minoru Yamasaki described the feeling he sought to create in his buildings as “serenity, surprise, and delight.” Here, his granddaughter Katie Yamasaki charts his life and work: his childhood in Seattle’s Japanese immigrant community, paying his way through college working in Alaska’s notorious salmon canneries, his success in architectural school, and the transformative structures he imagined and built. A Japanese American man who faced brutal anti-Asian racism in post–World War II America and an outsider to the architectural establishment, he nonetheless left his mark on the world, from the American Midwest to New York City, Asia, and the Middle East. This striking biography renders one artist’s work through the eyes of another, telling the story of a man whose vision, hard work, and humanity led him to the pinnacle of his field.
