About This Item
Brockport, NY: Boa Editions, Limited, 1986. Paperback. Fine. Li-Young Lee was born in 1957 in Jakarta, Indonesia, of Chinese parents. In 1959, his father, after spending a year as a political prisoner in President Sukarno's jails, fled Indonesia with his family. Between 1959 and 1964 they traveled in Hong Kong, Macau and Japan, until arriving in America. 71 pp. 8vo. English. "What characterizes Li-Young Lee's poetry is a certain humility, a kind of cunning, a love of plain speech, a search for wisdom and understanding - but more like a sad than a desperate search - a willingness to let the sublime enter his field of concentration and take over, a devotion to language, a belief in its holiness, a pursuit of certain Chinese ideas, or Chinese memories, without any self-conscious ethnocentricity, and a moving personal search for redemption . . .-from the Foreword by Gerald Stern.
