4.0 out of 5 stars The Spell of Memory, the Wound of History, April 5 2002

By	RecklessRagingFury "RecklessRagingFury" (Roaming Glome) - See all my reviews

I could not be more impressed with a poet than I am with Li-Young Lee. He weaves a powerful spell in his poetry. Here he looks back at events of his life. He finds images of both horror and wonder. Some say this is his weakest work. I say what the reader gets here is to witness Mr. Lee's exoricism of the past. Either way, it is worth reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars lee's second book is good, Mar 12 2002

By	adead_poet@hotmail.com "adead_poet@hotmail.com" (Beaumont, tx USA) - See all my reviews

Lee's second collection of poems is different from his other collections. the poems are longer and centered around his personal history more than the other two. This collection isn't as strong as his first _Rose_ or latest _Book of My Nights_ but still is a strong collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars .�: **:�. gorgeous word-scape .�: **:�., Nov 16 1999

By A Customer

ok. where do i start?

i love it. i mean, i think i may have liked Rose better, and Winged Seed was good (rather densely packed in history) but there's something about an author's first book that makes you stop in the middle of reading, look up, and suddenly feel overwhelmingly in awe.

the way i feel about the book has to do with my being asian american i suppose. works by asian americans aren't as abundant as other people's, so i guess i devour books of this type because of their rarity and in this case, quality as well.

i guess i'm not feeling too eloquent right now but what i'm trying to say is that Lee conveys his messages of joy and sorrow (corny, i know) in a beautiful and personal manner and he deserves to be recognized as a prominent author of not only his labeled "asian american" genre but of ALL literature (which he's pretty much accomplished by now)

5.0 out of 5 stars Experience the Beauty of Lee's Writing
This is perhaps the most beautiful book of poems ever comprised. How Li-Young Lee is not a household name perplexes me. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent read
li-young lee's work packs an emotional wallop. his work explores love and grief in a remarkable way, and his poems are remarkable, multi-layered, and complex.
