Behind My Eyes: Poems (with audio CD)
by Li-Young Lee
Have you read The Winged Seed? I had a similar experience with that. Picked it up in college and although it was interesting to have the background to contextualize Lee, his prose (very flowy & poetic) didn't do it for me in comparison to something like Rose.

Honestly, I'm not all that impressed, which sucks because I wanted to be. I didn't feel surprised like I did when I picked up any of his earlier volumes, which were just different enough one from the other to really shock me. But this time, I didn't get that feeling. Maybe I expected too much, or too much of something specific. Maybe it will age well on my bookshelf, like so many other books I've come to love, given time.
