Bøger af Li-Young Lee

"The poet of rapture and tenderness" (Major Jackson, American Poets), Li-Young Lee speaks these poems with the intimacy and primacy of a whisper, as if from a lover to a beloved, or a believer to God. Each poem in The Invention of the Darling is a mysterious conjunction of spirit and matter, movement and stillness, the divine and the mundane, the sacred and the forbidden. They yearn for holistic union with The Beloved, every sentence another name for The Beloved, every poem another way to say "I love you." Forged in awe of life and love, these poems emerge from the unlit depths of our earthly, material desires and our deepest fears of mortality.

Celebrated poet Li-Young Lee returns with a breathtaking new volume about the violence of desire and the peace of love.

Li-Young Lee, poeta del silencio, creador que busca ensanchar su interioridad, muestra en El desnudo lo que Oriente da a la poesi¿a actual: erotismo sin tocar la carne, habla sin decir palabra, luz que se abre a las mäs profundas reflexiones del lector. Lee no teme enfrentarse al tiempo: «En compan¿i¿a, suen¿as en muchos otros: / El tiempo que no tienes. / El tiempo que sobra. / Y el tiempo que toma». Es real. Toma an¿os al poeta llegar a esta destilacio¿n del Yo, y medir que¿ requiere su escritura, que¿ de e¿l, que¿ del cuerpo, que¿ del propio Tiempo. «El desnudo», poema que da ti¿tulo al libro, es un lento tango entre el sexo y el zen escrito para dos voces». Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker.
