4.0 out of 5 stars Li-Young Lee uses imagery to evoke emotion., 10 Dec 1998

By A Customer

Li-Young Lee works as a commercial artist, and in his poetry, he paints masterful pictures in the readers mind. I believe that the "stand-out" poem from this selection is "From Blossoms."

The idea of "taking what we love inside, to carry within us an orchard" brings a new sense of gratefulness for the memories and knowledge we have, and a profound sense of regret for the experiences, emotions, and knowledge we have missed.

Don't miss the emotions that these poems will evoke in you. Read them, love them, and take them inside.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best poets today capturing the struggle of living, 26 Nov 1996

By A Customer

Li-Young Lee's poetry is lucid in the way he captures the details of living with accuracy and tenderness, it moves the reader to awe. In poems such as "The gift" and "Early in the morning," Lee reveals the way our families create who we are in a manner that heals the reader and makes us examine our own lives. Lee often writes about his father and his own attempt to understand his connection to him and the heritage bestowed on him. In "The Gift" Lee uses a splinter as the union of everything that is valuable in his life and all our lives.
