Book of My Nights

Poetry. His poems are made from his life with his life; his poems are earned. He dares to be simple. And he is surely among the finest young poets alive -The American Poetry Review. Li-Young Lee is the author of the poetry collections THE CITY IN WHICH I LOVE YOU and ROSE, both available at SPD, and a book-length prose poem, The Winged Seed. Two Lannan videotapes of readings by Li-Young Lee are also available from SPD. He has been the recipient of many literary awards, most recently The Lannan Foundation Literary Award, The American Book Award of the Before Columbus Foundation, and The PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Award. Lee’s meditative bent is his own-pliable, open-ended, unpredictable-and not imitative. For Lee, life is clearly a web of beauties, terrors and triumphs -Chicago Magazine.
