Soft cover. Condizione: As New. 51 pages. Poetry published in 1976 as the poet's "gift to the City of Baltimore in commemoration of our country's Bicentennial." "Mrs. Kim, who lived in Anneslie for many years, had been an author, newspaper correspondent, co-owner of a laundry and a City Hall secretary during the administrations of Mayors Theodore R. McKeldin, Thomas J. D'Alesandro III and William Donald Schaefer.Since 1954, she had been the backbone of the city's annual Chinese Lunar New Year Festival sponsored by Grace and St. Peter's. She died in 2004." Known as the unofficial matriarch of Baltimore's Chinese-American community, the diminutive Mrs. Kim - who favored red dresses and whose smiling face was highlighted by rimless gold glasses - had a seemingly bottomless reserve of energy and enthusiasm.
