"We ought to only read books that stab us." Li-Young Lee has stabbed me with "Rose." In these beautifully crafted poems, he has interlaced the past and the present, his Chinese heritage, mother, father, wife...but Oh, his father is so very present. Reading Lee's poetry is like soaking in a warm bath, having a lovely dream, remembering something beautiful. The language dripped inside my ears and at times moved me to tears... His memories about hair... 'The scent of it, hair falling against his face, his skin, brushing it,combing it, braiding it,unbraiding it, hair spilling over, her autumn hair, and finally, caught in his mother's hair. I love these imagages. I love Li-Young Lee for stabbing me in the heart and making me feel. "In my dream I fly past summers and moths, to the thistle caught in my mother's hair, the purple one I touched and bled for, to myself at three, sleeping beside her, waking with her hair in my mouth." -Li-Young Lee- Review: Magnificent - Li-Young Lee's poems are powerful, beautiful and speak to the humanity in all of us. I marvel at his command of language, the artists eye with which he sees the world, and his ability to share these with the reader. Writing about the mundane, such as his wife's hair or a bag of peaches, memories of his father, or reminisences of being an immigrant, in each poem is a work of art. I strongly recommend this collection of poetry, especially for those who who have read little (or none) poetry - these poems are simple, beautiful and striking - a magnificent collection. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,938,078 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #141 in Canadian Dramas & Plays #3,457 in American Dramas & Plays #89,632 in Music (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (168) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.44 x 8.5 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0889224900 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0889224902 | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 160 pages | | Publication date | October 28, 2003 | | Publisher | Talonbooks | ## Images ![Rose - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31Qe4b72ZlL.jpg) ![Rose - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Bkt45ydhL.jpg) ![Rose - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51aaY+UXiRL.jpg) ![Rose - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71AaQWA-fSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Gorgeous! *by K***N on February 27, 2004* Kafka said...

I marvel at his command of language, the artists eye with which he sees the world, and his ability to share these with the reader. Writing about the mundane, such as his wife's hair or a bag of peaches, memories of his father, or reminisences of being an immigrant, in each poem is a work of art.

His word choice, images, and style makes me feel as though I've experienced the events and feelings he writes about. He has a skill of deliberately embedding a 'silence' that the reader must fill with their own voice. As a result, the reader experiences and 'owns' the poem intimately. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/11851663-rose](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/11851663-rose) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
