"The second volume in a new series publishing Francophone writers of the Pacific in English, Sharing as Custom Provides presents a selection of the poetry of Dewe Gorode, the leading Kanak author of New Caledonia. The poems included here are a lyrical tribute to country, home and family, viewed through a lens of nostalgia, pragmatism and regret. This volume includes both English translations and the original French versions of Gorode's poems."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
