Average Rating: 
Rating:  - The Spell of Memory, the Wound of History
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.
Rating: - lee's second book is good
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.

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.

Rating: - 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. Lee is an insighful storyteller and the language he manipulates in his poetry is insighful and lovely.
Rating: - 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.
