Description
In these luminous poems, Li-Young Lee turns toward the intimate work of looking—at bodies, memories, and the quiet rituals that shape love and loss. Across a series of lyrical scenes and emotional reckonings, the collection traces how tenderness can coexist with grief, and how language itself becomes a kind of undressing: revealing what is hidden, naming what endures, and making room for renewal. With Lee’s signature blend of accessible lyricism and spiritual attentiveness, the poems move between family history and the larger mysteries of faith, desire, and mortality. The result is a deeply human book that invites readers to feel more keenly, listen more closely, and recognize the sacred in everyday closeness.
