Does anyone want to talk about what Stubborn Twig says about how children get raised across cultures and in various periods of time? I think about Kay Yasui so much. Was his role as first born son too much pressure? Was racism too hard on a sensitive teen? Was there a disorder that in today's culture would get diagnosed and treated? Lauren Kessler reads one of his poems in her public talks for Oregon Reads. It is so teen, and so valiant. Was the family silence about Kay after his death personal grief or a cultural response?
