Book Review: weaker than the other volumes
Summary: 3 Stars
Lee has always been a favorite poet of mine, I loved his first three books, but it seems like so many poets, his work falls off over time. I'm not sure why that is. And Lee is no exception, it appears his best work was his early work, though "To Hold," "Virtues of the Boring Husband," and "After the Pyre" are all great poems.
Summary of Behind My Eyes: Poems (with audio CD)
A highly anticipated collection (including an audio CD) from one of the most powerful voices at work in America today.Combining sensitivity and eloquence with a broad appeal, Li-Young Lee walks in the footsteps of Stanley Kunitz and Billy Collins as one of the United States's most beloved poets. Playful, erotic, at times mysterious, his work describes the immanent value of everyday experience. Straightforward language and simple narratives become gateways to the most powerful formulations of beauty, wisdom, and divine love. Hardcover with audio CD.
