monday poem #110: Li-Young Lee, "Pillow"

[heresluck]

Late last week I went to the campus library's poetry room and picked out a small stack of books for the next few weeks. I'm really glad I grabbed this one; I've posted Lee's work before, and have been meaning to get around to this particular book for, oh, about four years now

That's lovely. And so much more poetic than my insomnia.

Most things, I find, are more poetic than insomnia. Heh.

That is so very pretty. I love all the images, especially "discarded wings, lost shoes, a broken alphabet."

That sounds like me. Hehe. Speaking of Li-Young Lee, have you read his poem, Eating Alone? Spent a lot of time analyzing it last year and thought you might like it. Especially with the onion and cooking references ;)
