Ed Bok Lee is a 2nd generation Korean American living and teaching in the Minneapolis area. His first collection of poetry won the 2012 American Book Award; and he has been awarded other prizes.
His poetry in this collection is wonderfully varied in subject, flexible and creative; and he seems to enjoy the use of style and form. It makes this a terrific volume to explore, whether it’s a first read or the twenty-first I'm off to find his previous collections.
