In <I>Book of My Nights</I>, Li-Young Lee once again gives us lyrical poetry that fuses memory, family, culture and history. In language as simple and powerful as the human muscle, these poems work individually and as a full-sequence meditation on the vulnerability of humanity.</P><P><B>Marketing Plans:</B><BR>o National advertising<BR>o National media campaign<BR>o National and regional author appearances<BR>o Advance reader copies<BR>o Course adoption mailing</P><P><B>Li-Young Lee</B> burst onto the American literary scene with the publication of <I>Rose</I>, winner of the 1986 Delmore Schwartz Memorial Poetry Award from The Poetry Society of America.
