Behind My Eyes: Poems [With CD] by Li-Young Lee

5.0

I can't think of many other words that come to mind when I read this besides "moved," "Rivers," and "memory." I don't even think all three of them necessarily make sense in this context. What I mean to say is that Lee's poetry not only brings the past alive in each poem, but in the reader as well. I was particularly enraptured by "Sweet Peace in Time" and "Living with Her." Additionally, some of them walked the line between 'funny' and 'pensive'- like "Virtues of the Boring Husband," not that Lee makes it clear that a poem needs to be either one or the other.

Just, great. Truly inspiring. I definitely plan to read more.
