Book of My Nights is the first poetry collection in ten years by one
of the world's most acclaimed young poets. In Book of My Nights,
Li-Young Lee once again gives us lyrical poetry that fuses memory,
family, culture and history. In language as simple and powerful as the
human muscle, these poems work individually and as a full-sequence
meditation on the vulnerability of humanity.

Li-Young Lee burst onto the American literary scene with the
publication of Rose, winner of the 1986 Delmore Schwartz Memorial
Poetry Award from The Poetry Society of America. He followed that
astonishing book with The City in Which I Love You, which was The
Lamont Poetry Selection of The Academy of American Poets. Mr. Lee has
appeared on National Public Radio a number of times and The Power of
the Word, the PBS television series with Bill Moyers. Rose and The
City in Which I Love You are in the 19th and 17th printings
respectively, making them two of the highest-selling contemporary poetry
books in the United States. Moreover, Mr. Lee's poems have been
translated into more than a dozen languages. He currently lives in
Chicago.
