March 3, 2008

As part of our ongoing NewsHour Poetry Series, tonight we look at poet Li-Young Lee.

Lee was born in Indonesia to Chinese parents in 1957, and moved to the United Stated in 1964. He is author of the award-winning books of poetry, Book of My Nights, The City in Which I Love You, and Rose. In 2003, he was a recipient of a Fellowship from the Academy of American Poets, and is a winner of a Lannan Literary Award, a Whiting Writer's Award, and the PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Award. His latest book came out this year, and is called Behind My Eyes.
