Behind My Eyes cover

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' 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.

"Accessible, enigmatic, melodic, humorous ... profound." "Luminous, deceptively simple poems." "The conversations in Behind My Eyes beautifully speak the mind's inquiring rhythms."
