レビュー
-
This is one of the most beautifully written memoirs I've read. I'd be tempted to say that only a poet could have written it, but I can think of no other poet than Lee who could have. The story is moving, and Lee knows how to weave together history and family narrative in a way that is intimate without being embarrassing, and without, on the other extreme, making an extravagant David Lean production. I read it when it first appeared, in the 1990s, and return to it often. I am glad to see it remains available.

A wonderful work by a great poet. A story full biographical facts of a family fleeing a Despotic country and making their way in a new world. A story of faith and survival.

Li-young Lee is one of my very favorite poets, this is my summer reading book!

His poetry gives brushstrokes to unarticulated feelings.
