Summary: The Spell of Memory, the Wound of History
Comment: 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.

Summary: lee's second book is good
Comment: 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.

Comment: 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)
