Lee is a poet of exceptional control and breathtaking grace, who is unafraid to go for the leaps of word and heart. This new poet will keep poetry alive.
— Lorna Dee Cervantes, author of Drive: The First Quartet: New Poems, 1980-2005
The universal sadness, almost Sufi-like, and the timeless compassion these poems articulate make it possible for a reader to believe that any "I" must include the whole world, inside and out, bliss and pain, broken and whole. I love these poems.
— Li-Young Lee, author of The City in Which I Love You and Behind My Eyes
