The Voluptuary: Poems

These are the poems of an enraptured heart and mind, of clear eyes and ears doing the soul's seeing and hearing. They vividly prove the unchanged function and relevance of poetry: to crystallize unsayable, non-verbal inner states, and to sanctify every world it touches. The Voluptuary brings us necessary visionary news of a profound sanity rooted in ecstatic love for creation. --Li-Young Lee
